Trivia

Barbara Steele

Edit
  • She was slightly injured by Vincent Price while filming her last scene from La chambre des tortures (1961) when he quite aggressively grabbed her by her throat - she shrugged it off because the scene came off so real.
  • The role of Alice LeBlanc in On achève bien les chevaux (1969) was written by James Poe - her husband - specifically for her, but the studio would not accept her and eventually fired Poe, too. Sydney Pollack eventually directed the film and the role was given to Susannah York instead.
  • She has one child, a son named Jonathan Jackson Poe who was born on August 11, 1970 in Los Angeles with her ex-husband, James Poe.
  • Has appeared in La Maison ensorcelée (1968) with three other cinema horror masters: Boris Karloff, Michael Gough and Sir Christopher Lee.
  • She was the original female lead to Elvis Presley in Les rôdeurs de la plaine (1960). She walked off the picture after an argument with director Don Siegel.
  • Best remembered by the public for her role as the evil yet sexy witch Princess Asa Vajda in Mario Bava's horror classic Le masque du démon (1960).
  • She was reportedly the last person to be signed as a contract player by the J. Arthur Rank Organization.
  • She was friends with Jane Wald, when she was in the United States during the 1960s.
