Hazel Court (10 February 1926 – 15 April 2008) was an English actress best known for her roles in horror films during the 1950s and early 1960s.
Court was born in Sutton Coldfield, Warwickshire, lived in the Boldmere area and attended Boldmere School and Highclare College. Her father was G.W. Court, a cricketer who played for Durham CCC. At the age of fourteen, she studied drama at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre and the Alexandra Theatre, also in Birmingham, England.
At the age of sixteen, Court met film director Anthony Asquith in London, which won her a brief part in Champagne Charlie (1944). Court won a British Critics Award for her role as a crippled girl in Carnival (1946) and also appeared in Holiday Camp (1947) and Bond Street (1948). Her first role in a fantasy film was in Ghost Ship (1952). One of Court's most remembered films is the cult classic Devil Girl from Mars (1954). She trained at the Rank Organisation's "charm school".
Court wanted to act in comedy films but she also continued to appear in horror films and, in 1957, had what was to become a career-defining role in the first colour Hammer Horror film The Curse of Frankenstein. In the 1957–58 television season, she appeared in a CBS sitcom filmed in England, Dick and the Duchess, in the role of Jane Starrett, a patrician Englishwoman married to an American insurance claims investigator living in London, a role played by Patrick O'Neal. Court travelled back and forth between Hollywood and England, appearing in four episodes of Alfred Hitchcock Presents. She had parts in A Woman of Mystery (1958), The Man Who Could Cheat Death (1959) and Doctor Blood's Coffin (1961) among others.
I make my pick at the end, as always.

Our second visit to Hazel Court Ponds near Cowbridge, this time we fished the pleasure lake, another good little session even if the weather changed constantly during the day.

A TRIBUTE TO HORROR STAR HAZEL COURT, THE "BEST SCREAMER IN THE BUSINESS!" by Dr.Franklin Ruehl,Ph.D. Fabulous red hair! Radiant green eyes! A goddesslike face! A model's figure! These are a few of of the physical features that describe the late horror film star. Hazel Court, who recently passed away at the age of 82. Added to those attributes was a rich cultured voice which made her an absolute joy to listen to whenever she appeared on screen. She became an icon in the horror/sci-fi/mystery genre with memorable appearances in such entries as "The Curse of Frankenstein" (1956), "The Man Who Could Cheat Death" (1959), "The Premature Burial" (1962) and "The Masque of the Red Death" (1964). If I was pressed to name her most engrossing performance, I would nominate her role as a n...

Travelling to a Hazel Court on my first day off in ages and the weather is grim, really annoying especially after how nice its been. Our plans to hit the cat lake were put on hold as the temperature had sharply dropped overnight and I gave the Specimen Lake my attention for the day. The weather and the resident Swans truly wreaked the session but it was still nice to get out on the bank. Please Subscribe and feel free to comment.

Colin Howell jailed for a minimum of 21 years for murdering his wife and his-ex lover's husband. In 1991, he poisoned the pair with car exhaust fumes and then staged an elaborate plot to make it look like they'd killed themselves in a suicide pact.
In August 2012, with Tia Sharp still missing, Stuart Hazell told ITV News that he had no involvement in her disappearance. He has now pleaded guilty to the schoolgirl's murder. Hazell, 37, had denied killing the schoolgirl and hiding her body in the loft of the house he shared with his former partner, Christine Bicknell -- Tia's grandmother. But on the fifth day of his trial at the Old Bailey, he dramatically changed his plea and admitted her murder. This television interview, in which Hazell angrily refuted allegations that he had anything to do with Tia's disappearance, was broadcast in August 2012 as police and volunteers searched for the missing schoolgirl. Shown to the jury during his trial for her murder, the interview includes Hazell describing the situation as "horrible" and...

A wonderful melodrama in the good old British 1940s tradition (though why it's called "Carnival" is beyond me!)... The gorgeous Sally Gray, sounding very modern, leads a great supporting cast - Michael Wilding, Stanley Holloway, Jean Kent, Catherine Lacey, Hazel Court, Nancy Price, Brenda Bruce, and a sinister performance by Bernard Miles - also a small role as a midwife by Kathleen Harrison (though, surprisingly, uncredited) who made her film debut in 1915 and lived till the ripe old age of 103. Watch out for a nice turn as the bitchy 'Madge Wilson' by an unknown actress called Pamela Foster. Sally Gray, Jean Kent and Brenda Bruce all had dancing experience in West End musicals so were able to perform in the dance sequences which were choreographed by Freddie Carpenter. Carpenter was a ch...

Captain Mantell Hazel Court ... Mary Jarvis Rip Torn ... Lieutenant Harrison Larry Gates ... Major Thomas J. Pat O'Malley ... Pub Keeper Cliff Robertson ...

It tells only of a moment in the history of violent moments. It tells of no victories and no defeats – but rather of the minute tragedies of a few who stand in the back-wash of battle. For this reason. This story could be any time, any place, any ...
