British actress Margaret Lee has left us at the age of 80, on April 25th.  She was a popular leading lady in Italian films in the 1960s and 1970s. She was educated at the Italia Conti Theatre School in London, graduating in 1960. She moved to Rome shortly afterwards to pursue a career in films. Her film debut came in the sword and sandal adventure Fire Monsters Against the Son of Hercules (1962), where she played the female lead alongside Reg Lewis, but it was a string of popular comedies that initially made her a star in Italy. With a blonde, fluffy look modelled after Marilyn Monroe, she spent the first half of the 1960's appearing in numerous Italian comedies and parodies – several of which starred the popular comedic duo Franco and Ciccio. Few of these films received much, if any, distribution in English-speaking territories but they were highly successful in Italy, and made Lee a well-known film actress. Some of the most famous Eurospy films she starred in were Our Agent Tiger (1965) by Claude Chabrol, Agent 077: From the Orient with Fury (1965) by Sergio Grieco, Kiss the Girls and Make Them Die (1966) by Henry Levin and Dick Smart 2.007 (1967) by Franco Prosperi.

German director Michael Verhoeven has left us at the age of 85, on April 22nd.  He was the son of the German film director Paul Verhoeven (not to be confused with the Dutch film director of the same name). In 1982, he released Die weiße Rose ( The White Rose), which, with the Berlin Best Foreign film nomination of Das schreckliche Mädchen ( The Nasty Girl) in 1990 (also BAFTA nominated), cemented his reputation as an important political contributor to German film. Along with his films My Mother's Courage and documentary Der unbekannte Soldat ( The Unknown Soldier), they have been hailed as an unstinting examination of Germany's Nazi period. He was married to actress Senta Berger since 1966. He is remembered by ZDFR.I.P. Michael Verhoeven |

(No obituary could be found) She popped up in some English speaking films - THE BLOODY JUDGE, CIRCUS OF FEAR, OUR MAN IN MARRAKESH and FIVE GOLDEN DRAGONS, as well as I BASTARDI with Rita Hayworth and Klaus Kinski. My favourite of hers has to be Jess Franco's VENUS IN FURS  |
