Bloody love Blood on Satan's Claw. Probably helped by first seeing it at the age of 19 and that scene with Linda Hayden. But there's other fun gruesomeness as well.

The Golden Globe winner, 65, was recently caught on camera in West Hollywood with a long, jagged mark on her left cheek. Though Melanie hasn't addressed the speculation, an insider spilled, "She's had some issues with skin cancer in the not-too-distant past, and people around her worry she had a recurrence that required more surgery.

There are some amazing punctuations in Sylvia Syms career - Ice Cold In Alex, The Punch And Judy Man, Espresso Bongo. How she ever played Maggie Thatcher AND the Queen Mother, I'll never know. Still a Peter Bowles associated death (the 2022 hangover continues), co-starring in Together from 2018. LEGEND! RIP. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
