138 Pharaoh's Curse ( 1957 )


This  is  a  very  average  low  budget  horror  with  a  dated  feel.

Captain  Storm  ( Mark  Dana ) is  a  British  officer in  Egypt   ordered  to  take  an  American  woman  Sylvia  Quentin  to  her  husband  Robert  ( George  Neise )  the  leader  of  an  archaeological  team  and  then  evacuate them. His  party  is  intercepted  by  a strange  Egyptian  woman   and  things  start  to  go  wrong  from  that  point  onwards.

Diane  Brewster  ( as  Sylvia  Quentin )

Sex : No

Death : Survives


This  was  Diane's  first  movie  although  she  was  already  quite  established  in  TV. She  only  made  a  few  films  but  was  a popular  TV  actress  with  regular  roles  in  Maverick  and  Leave It  To  Beaver. She  died  of  heart  failure  in  1991  aged  60.

Ziva  Shapir   ( as  Simira )

Sex : No

Death :  N/a - she's  immortal


This  was  also  Ziva's  film  debut. She  was  actually  an Israeli  actress  who  had  a  decade  or  so  of  playing  exotic  beauties  of  various  nationalities  before  retiring  to  Israel  at  the  end  of  the  sixties. She  is  now  84.
