International star Hazel Court has starred in countless films, both in England and the United States. However, she is best known for her work in horror films, starting with Hammer in the 1950's and going on to work with Roger Corman in Hollywood. She has been described as the 'Ultimate Scream Queen'. This is her autobiography, in which she traces her career from being a 'Gainsborough Girl' through to her current status as internationally recognised sculptor and author. Hazel provides intimate portraits of Christopher Lee, Peter Cushing, Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre and Jack Nicholson, as well as her late husband, actor/director Don Taylor. An English woman’s view of a life in Hollywood, 'Hazel Court -- Horror Queen' is eagerly anticipated by Hazel's fans throughout the world. Lavishly illustrated with rare photos -- including some that you never thought you’d see!
"Impeccably presented, the book features many rare stills from the archives, among them the fabled topless shot for the 'continental' version of The Man Who Could Cheat Death (extremely daring for 1959!)." -- Howard Maxford, Film Review, 2008.
