You were a beauty who ruled the fashion scene, but on the heels of (and among) such, an exceptional actress.
The Legend of Hell House, Eye of the Cat, Fragment of Fear and Voices (the latter two with then husband, David Hemmings) fuel your fright queue.
Marlowe; Phillip Marlowe, Private Eye; P.J.; Scorpio; Shadowman; Dream Lover; Strange Shadows in an Empty Room; Freelance; Running Scared '72; The Spiral Staircase '75; The Sell Out; The Golden Bowl; and Target comprise your chapters of mystery and psycho-intrigue. The same can be said of your appearance as Irene Adler ("The Woman") on the opening episode of The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes: "A Scandal in Bohemia," with Jeremy Brent, plus your visits to Roald Dahl's Tales of the Unexpected in "Luncheon," and Thriller (the British strand) in "K is for Killing."
The Love Machine (again with Hemmings); The Martian Chronicles; The Wild Angels; Hard to be a God; Return of the Man from U.N.C.L.E.; Return of the Saint; The Saint: The Brazilian Connection; Get Smart (the original); Fall of Eagles and Dream West tint your sociological/venturesome/imagi-movie side. And how can we not acknowledge your saucy stint on the popular, nighttime soap, Dallas, as J.R.'s old squeeze, Venessa Beaumont? Ah, the stuff of legend!
You struck a positive chord with anyone who had the pleasure of experiencing your work, Ms. Hunnicutt ... a striking lady of striking performances, with every facet designed for perennial praise.
