British “scream queen” Hazel Court has died of a heart attack. She was 82.
Court starred in horror movies of the 1950s and 1960s. She played the woman who could shriek in fear and then die a horrible death in movies such as The Premature Burial, The Curse of Frankenstein, and Devil Girl from Mars.
According to daughter Sally Walsh, Court died at her home in California.
“She was one of the great beauties of all time,” said Walsh of her mother. “She was a redhead with really green eyes and almost … the perfect face. She was on the cover of almost every magazine.”
Court is survived by daughters Walsh and Courtney Taylor, son Jonathan Taylor, and stepdaughters Anne Taylor Fleming and Avery Taylor.
