British actress Caroline Munro has shared the screen with nearly all of the giants of 60′s-70′s horror cinema. She appeared with Vincent Price in the 1971 film The Abominable Dr. Phibes. The following year she appeared with Christopher Lee and Peter Cushing in Dracula A.D. 1972. She also appeared in the Hammer productions Captain Kronos – Vampire Hunter (1974) and The Devil Within Her (1975), and then reunited with Peter Cushing for the film At The Earth’s Core (1976). A year later, she starred opposite Roger Moore as Bond Girl Naomi in The Spy Who Loved Me (1977), and finally got a starring role two years later as “Stella Star” in the film Starcrash (aka The Adventures of Stella Star). She semi-retired from acting in the late 80′s to concentrate on her family, but has recently returned to the work she loves, appearing in Flesh For The Beast (2003), The Absence of Light (2004), and Domestic Strangers (2005).
