Sad to hear Betta St. John has passed. The American actor, singer and dancer worked with, among others, Vincent Price, Cary Grant, Christopher Lee, William Castle and Gordon Scott in a career spanning from the age of 10 until her retirement in 1965. Particularly memorable in Hammer's #TheSnorkel, as Boris Karloff's niece in #CorridorsOfBlood (both 1958) and as the second-half heroine of John Moxey's much admired #HorrorHotel a.k.a. #TheCityOfTheDead (1960).
