REMEMBERING Today we remember Valerie Gaunt. VALERIE'S short career on the big screen featured only in two films, and they were along side Peter Cushing. Just
two roles, but they left a lasting impact, that would outlast many
longer career! Her playing of Justine in 'The Curse of Frankenstein'
(1957) and her performance in Hammer films,1958 'Dracula' hold a special
place for lovers of fantasy cinema.
Born Valerie Shelia Gaunt, on the 9th July 1932 in Stratford-on-Avon,
Warwickshire, England, following an interest in amateur theater, after
leaving school embarked on a career as a model, before auditioning for
Hammer and landing her first professional role in 1957. Gaunt married
her husband Gerald Alfred Reddington on May 17th, 1958.
PETER CUSHING'S role in the clip above is short, but matters!
VALERIE GAUNT passed away, aged 84 after a short illness in November 2016.
