Description
This is a black and white photo of the British actor Suzanna Leigh posing with the festival director Dermot Breen in 1972. Leigh, in a light-coloured wrap-over dress, is smiling broadly at the camera while Breen, with one arm on his hip, leans up against the wall behind her.
Suzanna Leigh (1945-2017) was a British actor best known for her film and television work during the 1960s and 1970s. She was born Sandra Smith but was encouraged by Vivien Leigh (who was possibly her Godmother but not confirmed) to use her name in acting. Suzanna Leigh started acting at the age of 13 with Tom Thumb (George Pal, 1958) before working opposite Tony Curtis in Boeing Boeing (John Rich, 1965) and opposite Elvis Presley in Paradise, Hawaiian Style (Michael D Moore, 1966). She worked in several Hammer horror films, including The Deadly Bees (Freddie Francis, 1967) and Son of Dracula (Freddie Francis, 1974) with Ringo Starr, gaining her a cult following amongst horror fans.
