This was a big budget ( particularly for a British film ) adaptation Of Bram Stoker's The Jewel Of Seven Stars although te film owes at least as much to The Omen. Charlton Heston came over to star as the driven Egyptologist looking for the body of a notorious quuen only to find that her curse starts working on his family the moment he finds the tomb. Despite looking fabulous this got bucketed on release and it hasn't aged well. The main problem is the pacing with an overlong prologue, very saggy middle section then a frantic last half hour requiring multiple leaps of logic.

23 year old Stephanie was born in Manhattan. This was only her second film role after a busy few years on TV and her film career never recovered from the mauling her performance received. It was a different story on TV enjoying great success in Remington Steele for five years and regular work thereafter. She is also very active in theatre and her career is ongoing.
