Welcome to the last in our continuing series of posts focusing on the lovely ladies of Thriller. We hope you enjoy this mega-post. For those who have been with us since our first installment, one of the photos was incorrectly identified as Audrey Dalton. We want to thank Tom Weaver for pointing out our error. Needless to say, the persons responsible have been appropriately chastised. We have also made it absolutely clear that no such inaccuracies will be tolerated in the future. Enjoy the gallery!

Gratuitous Dianne Stanley!
ReplyDeletePlease note that Dianne Stanley was not in a THRILLER. This is merely John indulging his bottomless lust for PLANET OF THE APES. We might call this "leakage."
Shhhh - you weren't supposed to tell!
ReplyDeleteI did omit the Kristen Bell shot from Forgetting Sarah Marshall that I had originally planned to include with the other Sarah Marshall photos just to make sure Tom Weaver was doing his job...
are you goes sneaking into the AFI stills archive at night or did these spill out from under a '60s bed? amazing
ReplyDeleteThe color shot of Paluzzi ISN'T Paluzzi.
ReplyDeleteIt's probably Claudine Auger, sneaking in from THUNDERBALL.
ReplyDeleteShow yourself, Weaver! Show yourself!
ReplyDeleteThanks anon - the offending photo has been removed.
@Bobby J. - We've got top men working round the clock to dig these things up. You should see the photos we didn't dare post on our family friendly Thriller A Day blog...
For the record, I couldn't resist including Dianne Stanley in her ANSA uniform, but seeing as I was up to my earlobes in Thriller babes this morning with only a few days to go, it's quite possible there are other errors, for which our anonymous benefactor should not be held accountable.
I go away for a day and it all comes tumblin' down!
ReplyDeleteKathleen Crowley isn't Kathleen Crowley.
Uncle Ira isn't Uncle Ira.
The picture of "Elizabeth Allen" with the pumpkin is Elizabeth AllAN from MARK OF THE VAMPIRE and THE HAUNTED STRANGLER.
Wonderful, wonderful array of pics -- thanks so much for all the digging and posting!
Thank you Dr. Bennell!
ReplyDelete"The color shot of Paluzzi ISN'T Paluzzi."
ReplyDeleteIsn't that (or wasn't that--I think it was deleted) the awesome Karin Dor? Great photos, guys!
Great stuff, guys-- the Natatlie Schafer and Linda Watkins pics are especially cool. Who would'a thought?
ReplyDeleteLR
Never mind Natalie and Linda. How about Jeanette Nolan. Who'd'a thunk that? Pretty sharp looking babe in her day (1800s, but that's beside the point).
ReplyDeleteLarry's right, that was Karin Dor. For the life of me, I couldn't place her when I posted the original comment. Thanks, Larry. (And thanks for the hilarious movies, too.)
ReplyDeletePeter--
ReplyDeleteI imagine most everyone knows that the upper Jeanette Nolan photo (with the pointy box-thing on her head) is from her film debut as Lady MacBeth in Orson Welles' film version of the play, proving that--it's NOT just our imaginations: she was REALLY good!---a totally legit and respected actress whose talents extended well beyond the usual crusty, crazy crone on Thriller/TZ, etc.

Hi; Please add more pics of Ilka Windish. Happy Holidays. Sincerely, Tom
