1) Ingrid Pitt - fabulous star, can't believe she only did two for the company, should've done a heap more
2) The Collinson Twins - a gimmick yes, not sure there was a second film in these two, but a fabulous gimmick
3) Raquel Welch - suited the world of Hammer better than you'd think - her successors in cave outfits never had the same impact
4) Ursula Andress - wonderful in her film, again should've done more with the company
5) Valerie Leon - bewitching, captivating, helps make her mummy film a classic, deserved another movie
6) Barbara Shelley - perfected the sad eyes, secretly-wants-it look, finally got an actual lead in Blood Island 2 but wasn't done justice - still, probably the woman who did best out of Hammer
7) Martine Beswick - had probably the best role for a woman in Hammer as Sister Hyde and did very well
8) Susan Strasberg - she never became the great actress that she was predicted to become but she was very good and developed a neat line in "woman who is terrified" that was very well used in Taste of Fear
9) Stephanie Beacham - a bright light from a dim period for Hammer
10) Natassa Kinski- her presence is clearly problematic but she has genuine charisma and is perfectly cast
