Quantcast

Dawn Addams starred in dozens of films in a career that spanned 20 years, from 1952 to 1973.  Her horror film credits include the 1960 films The Thousand Eyes of Dr. Mabuse (by Fritz Lang) and Terrence Fisher’s The Two Faces of Dr. Jekyll with Christopher Lee and Oliver Reed.  In 1969, she appeared in the sci-fi exploitation flick Zeta One with fellow Hammer Hotties Valerie Leon and Yutte Stensgaard.  Toward the end of her film carreer, she appeared in two films for Hammer Studios: The Vampire Lovers (1970) with Peter Cushing, Ingrid Pitt, Kate O’Mara, Kirsten Lindholm, Madeline Smith, Pippa Steel and Janet Key, and The Vault of Horror (1973).

Danish beauty Yutte Stensgaard appeared in only one film for Hammer Studios, and it remains her most well-remembered role: that of Carmilla in Lust For A Vampire (1971). Two years earlier, she had starred with fellow Hammer Girls Valerie Leon and Dawn Addams in the goofy British sexploitation flick Zeta One (1969).
