MORE THAN EYE CANDY : A FIGHTER ON AND OFF SCREEN : JULIE EGE REMEMBERED


TODAY WE REMEMBER JULIE EGE, a model and actress, she starred in the James Bond film On Her Majesty's Secret Service (1968) also in the Creatures The World Forgot (1971) for Hammer….she co-starred with Peter Cushing in Hammer's 'Legend Of The Seven Golden Vampires' (1974). Julie was much MORE than eye candy and thankfully, after her acting career moved on to a whole new life. Here is a very good feature on Julie, that gives the bigger picture and shows how she excelled right until her sad end . .


'For Ege, graduating as a nurse fulfilled a childhood dream, but  like others on this website, it also saved her life. While studying for her final exams, Ege discovered the early signs of breast cancer and believed that it was her new found knowledge that helped her detect the disease. Undeterred by the extensive medical treatment, including a mastectomy, she went on to work as a nurse for 22 years, facing the disease head on, including subsequent diagnoses of ovarian and lung cancer. She wrote her autobiography Naked, and continued to attend premieres and events in Oslo while at the Buskerud Hospital in Drammen. “She was a nurse and loved the job,” said her daughter Joanna to The Express newspaper. “You would never have known she had this rich, glamorous past if you’d met her. You would have just been struck by her energy, her smile and her determination to help people."  JUST CLICK HERE!

#‎monstermonday‬ Roll Up! Roll Up! Dr Diabolo will reveal all, unveil your fates and fortune for a fiver! What a classic turn Burgess Meredith gave us as 'Beelzebub', 'Lucifer'. the 'Serpent of old' ..the DEVIL, in the guise of Dr Diabolo...under the cover of a sideshow attraction! Peter Cushing and Jack Palance appeared in one of Amicus film BEST little stories in 'Torture Garden', 'The Man Who Collected Poe'.... a truly creepy story..and with Burgess as the strand that ties it all together, it was a recipe for success!


Palance fights Cushing for the secret of his Poe Collection....



“Atropos, Goddess of Destiny; in the left hand, the skein of life, in the right, the shears of fate. Each coloured thread represents a human life, and the shears have the power to cut it short.”



 
According to IMDB that five pounds that Dr Diabolo charges his fated costumers to enter the Torture Garden??.. IMDB says quote...'The film obviously takes place in the UK, but the banknotes seen on screen from his customers clearly US currency!'...well take a look at the transparency ABOVE!


A SMILING ATROPOS? On set during the making of 'TORTURE GARDEN' at Shepperton Studios
 
TRIVIA: This was Burgess Meredith's one and only appearance in an Amicus film, and he plays the 'link' between the stories very well.... of ALL the Amicus link characters...is THIS your favourite?
