| Bond Girl/Hammer Horror actress Julie Ege dies
Posted: 5/2/2008 7:41:40 AM | Norwegian actress and pin-up girl Julie Ege has recently died at the age 0f 64 from cancer.
Unless you're over 40 or into cult movies the name probably won't mean anything to you but if you, like me lapped up all those late night British films shown in the 70's & 80's then you will have definately seen several films starring this stunningly beautiful glamourpuss actress - her credits included several saucy comedies and gruesome horror films of the period, highlights being the movie version of 'Up Pompeii' (playing opposite Frankie Howerd) , Not Now Darling, The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins, Craze, The Mutations, a Bond film (On Her Majesty's Secret Service) and two Hammer movies (Creatures The World Forgot and The Legend Of The 7 Golden Vampires).
A quick visit to google images will instantly remind you of Julie. RIP | |

Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then;
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.
John Donne | |

Posted: 9/7/2008 5:22:36 PM | Damn! I used to love those films. I've seen Up Pompeii several times, OHMSS a few times and The Legend Of The 7 Golden Vampires. I'll have to watch one of them again, and keep an eye out for her. She was a real looker.
Still, at least she has a good legacy, and scores of adoring fans, even if they don't know it was her. | |

Posted: 9/8/2008 2:31:24 AM | Our revels now are ended. These our actors,
As I foretold you, were all spirits, and
Are melted into air, into thin air:
And like the baseless fabric of this vision,
The cloud-capp'd tow'rs, the gorgeous palaces,
The solemn temples, the great globe itself,
Yea, all which it inherit, shall dissolve,
And, like this insubstantial pageant faded,
Leave not a rack behind. We are such stuff
As dreams are made on; and our little life
Is rounded with a sleep.
William Shakespeare. | |
