Susan George

Susan George
Susan George has appeared in many films during her varied career and unfortunately, most come under the "B" movie catgeory and for very good reason but the best of these being Fright, Dirty Mary Crazy Larry with Peter Fonda, Jack The Ripper with Michael Caine, Mandingo (again with James Mason) and some less noteworthy. However, she is probably best remembered for two films...Spring and Port Wine (James Mason) (where I fell in love with her) and Straw Dogs with Dustin Hoffman. In her younger days, she was as sexy as ANY actresses I have seen and has left an enormous lasting impression on me...(yes,still have a MASSIVE CRUSH) . I have watched Spring and Port Wine more than any and possibly know the script by heart, but her best movie by far, was Straw Dogs with Dustin Hoffman and saw her at a more mature best. Shame she wasn't picked up by a major studio and can also be seen in Tales Of The Unexpected and Hammer House Of Horror films for the more nostalgic amongst us... Oh for the days... Still in love with her (with my wife's full endorsement) thanks for the memories Susan George... Just watched Twinkiy or Lola (same movie different title) with her and Charles Bronson and wooow.... How hot is she in her school uniform!!!! Her film credits are quite extensive, but most, less memorable than others...still...who cares when she is that gorgeous
