Nope, not Hidalgo... This takes place in the previous century.

[Silb3r]

Sorry about that.... I was talking about the actress in Vampyros Lesbos, the previous picture, not Emilie Dequenne's character.

Her name was Soledad Miranda and she was killed in a car crash in 1970.

I have several of her films on DVD and yes, she was very sexy!

Well done. Your turn.

[AsciiSimon]

Sexy, yes. But I find watching Vampyros Lesbos unbearable.

Actually in that film I prefer the blonde (Ewa Strömberg) but only because she reminds me of someone I know :001_smile

It is a bit of an oddly paced film and can be hard to sit through though. Especially the bit where they go through the whole starting act part again later on in the film.

That was just luck. It looked like R. Crumb's brother from my memory of the film, plus I knew he was in that crappy Philly (?) apartment and that he was into freaky crap.

Funny part is that my girlfriend at the time made me walk out of that movie. She thought it was a freaky film about worthless freaks and that R. Crumb himself was a worthless freaky pervert.

Needless to say, she was too young for me.
