She's my Gothic goddess, her and Carolyn Jones from the Addams family.
Perfect women to me.
I'm wearing a Morticia T- shirt at the moment.
Steele has a great way of seeming sweet then turning into some kind of demon with a single facial expression.
Then there's the eyes.
She's been turning up on Talking pictures channel recently, first as a student in some random film briefly, then yesterday she was in a film called 'your money or your wife' sexing it up with Donald Sinden no less.
To me she is the 'original' horror female star, others like Barbara Shelley were mostly the victim, whereas Steele was the monster,seductress,adultress or avenging spirit.
I put her among Cushing, Lee, Price, Lorre, Karloff and Lugosi as a true horror icon.
I think she's above being classed as a generic scream queen as she has much more presence and power in her roles.
