REMEMBERING PRUDENCE HYMAN ON HER BIRTHDAY TODAY

She was the subject of our #MonsterMonday requested Gallery yesterday and today... we celebrate her BIRTHDAY! Today we remember, Prudence Hyman, the actress and dancer who played Barbara Shelly's alter ego in Hammer films, 'The Gorgon'. Not the easiest of roles to play, especially when you have six pounds of wig and writhing rubber serpents balancing on your head. Hammer couldn't quite pull it off when it came to the reveal, but Prudence did a grand job, petrifying Peter Cushing and setting her place in stone, in the Hammer films Walk of Fame. Happy Birthday Prudence!
