Remembering #CatherineLacey (1904-79), the great English stage, television and film actress born in London #OnThisDay. Her acting career spanned six decades, with many scene-stealing film appearances, including the deceptive nun in Hitchcock's #TheLadyVanishes (1938), and as aged eccentrics in Hammer's #TheShadowOfTheCat (1961) and #TheMummysShroud (1967).

1/2

Outstanding as Boris Karloff's obsessive wife in Michael Reeves' grim #TheSorcerers (1967), enjoying the vicarious pleasures of youth, including burning to death in a car wreck.
