Barbara Steele Biography
Barbara Steele (born December 29, 1937 in Birkenhead, Merseyside, England, UK) is an English film actress. She is best known for starring in Italian gothic horror films of the 1960s. Her breakthrough role came in Italian director Mario Bava`s Black Sunday (1960), now hailed as a masterpiece of the Italian gothic horror genre.[1] Steele starred in a string of horror films, including The Horrible Dr. Hichcock (1962); The Ghost, directed by Riccardo Freda; and Roger Corman`s 1961 adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe`s short story "The Pit and the Pendulum." According to Kim Newman`s Nightmare Movies, she is on record as saying that she never wanted "to climb out of another fucking coffin again".

R. H. W. Dillard entitled his first collection of poems The Day I Stopped Dreaming About Barbara Steele (1966)
