SO LONG, EDITH SCOB...
Your career was rich and deep, but to horror fans, you became a preeminent symbol, due to your role in Georges Franju's "Eyes Without A Face" ("The Horror Chamber of Dr. Faustus".)
As the disfigured Christine Genessier, you floated with forlorn grace, your poignant eyes beaming beyond your mask in a most memorable way.
In fact, so strong was your spectral visage that it inspired a long queue of homages, including Leos Carax's "Holy Motors", where you resumed your iconic guise, as well as a classic Billy Idol tune.
To give fans a further treat, you even haunted Christophe Gans' inventive "Brotherhood of the Wolf", fortifying your dark-fantasy ranking.
You've attained something that most can only imagine, Ms. Scob: an immortality that now twines both heaven and earth.
