Sad to report another show business departure: the statuesque Julie Ege died today at the age of 64. One of Robert’s favourite people of 70s popular culture…and not just for the obvious reasons…she cavorted with a disinterested Leslie Phillips in The Magnificent Seven Deadly Sins, got dirty with Frankie Howerd in the film version of Up Pompeii and danced the night away with Marty Feldman in Every Home Should Have One. She battled Hammer dinosaurs in Creatures the World Forgot, joined Peter Cushing for his final fight with blood-suckers in The Legend of the 7 Golden Vampires and was turned in to one of The Mutations by Donald Pleasence. She was a vital part of what TV Cream would call ‘the films that criticism forgot’ and will never, herself, be forgotten.
