Footnotes
Austrian beauty Susan Denberg longed for the glamour of the movie industry, but, when stardom came, she was unable to cope. She had appeared as a centrefold in Playboy magazine and landed a part in “An American Dream” (aka. “See You in Hell, Darling”) (1966), but after “Frankenstein Created Woman” she suffered severe mental problems which forced an early end to her acting career.
At about this time, Terence Fisher took time off from Hammer to make two films for Tom Blakeley’s Planet Films – “Island of Terror” (1966, with Peter Cushing) and “Night of the Big Heat” (1967, with Cushing again and with Christopher Lee).
