Not the greatest, no, probably not - BUT, you've got to admire the committment she showed in certain roles. She's completely convincing in the finales of Doriana Grey, Lorna The Exorcist and Female Vampire. She shows such a fantastic blend of hypersexualized vamping and just an utterly bonkers broken psychee in those roles (my three favorites, if I had to pick) that it's obvious that she definitely had more going for her than just her looks. People tend to dismiss her work (I'm speaking in generalizations here and I don't mean you, Alex) I think because so much of it is sexual, but she had some pretty serious acting chops and proved it when given the right material and the right roles.

She also made some stinkers too, but with someone as prolific as her, that's generally not a shock.

very well said

And no matter how many times I see this clip, it's still very bitter sweet.

There was certainly nobody else like her in cinema history. Damn. RIP.
