Product Description
International star Hazel Court has been described as the Ultimate Scream Queen, due to her work with both Hammer Films and Roger Corman. She is the only actress to have worked with all of horror films' leading men - Boris Karloff, Peter Cushing, Vincent Price and Christopher Lee. But Hazel Court was so much more than a Scream Queen! She was one of England's top film actresses in the 40's and 50's as well as one of the world's top pin-ups. Hazel went on to have a high-profile career in US television in the 60's (Bonanza, Dr. Kildare, Rawhide, Mission Impossible, The Twilight Zone, Burke's Law, The Wild Wild West, and more). Her autobiography traces her path from her childhood in the West Midlands of England to Lake Tahoe; from famous actress to internationally acclaimed sculptor and artist. Hazel provides a unique and emotionally moving view of an English woman s life in Hollywood. Lavishly illustrated with rare photos including some that you never thought you'd see!

Great book! September 2, 2008
I've loved Hazel Court since seeing her in "The Curse of Frankenstein" and "Masque of the Red Death" so it was wonderful to find her autobiography. Lots of great photos and it sounds truly written from the heart. A beautiful gracious lady and wonderful actress.
As an aside, my copy came with the whole first chapter inserted upside down but it didn't ruin my enjoyment of the book, just wondering if other copies were this way, too.
And, to Barbara Shelley: please write your book!!
a wonderful life story by one of the world's great beauties April 13, 2008

Hazel Court documents her diverse life story, from childhood to present. This is a beautiful book with over 300 pictures including many in color. So much more than a story about a star, Hazel was a traveller, actor, sculpture and naturlist. An enchanting book.
