Born in England on December 29, 1937 (some sources cite her date of birth as 1938 and her place of birth as Ireland), actress Barbara
Steele's striking, exotic visage helped make her an international horror film star in the 1960s. As a child Steele was interested
in a career as an artist, but as she matured she decided to give acting a try. Steele first landed a small part in the British comedy
Bachelor of Hearts (1958; with Hardy Kruger and Sylvia Syms). A few other roles followed, yet Steele found fame in the Italian-made
horror classic Black Sunday (1960; with John Richardson), directed by Mario Bava. Black Sunday
helped typecast her as a horror actress. More horror films followed, including Pit and the Pendulum (1961; with
Vincent Price and Luana Anders), The Horrible Dr. Hichcock (1964; with Robert Flemyng), and
The Crimson Cult (1970; with Boris Karloff and Christopher Lee).
Aside from horror films, Steele has appeared in such diverse films as Federico Fellini's 8 1/2 (1963; with Marcello Mastroianni
and Claudia Cardinale), The Maniacs (1964; with Margaret Lee), Caged Heat (1974; with Juanita
Brown), and Pretty Baby (1978; with Keith Carradine and Brooke Shields).
