American actress Debra Feuer seen here in a promo still from one of our favorite movies, Leben und Sterben in L.A., aka To Live and Die in L.A., 1985 

American actress Carol Lynley, seen here in a production still from her psycho-babe thriller Once You Kiss a Stranger, 1969.     

Photo of Japanese model/singer/actress Linda Yamamoto, aka Yamamoto Rinda, circa 1993. 

Promo poster of Japanese actress Meiko Kaji, star of the seminal pinku sword opera Lady Snowblood, pictured here circa 1973. 

Promo shot of Chinese actress Betty Loh Ti, or Loh Tih, who starred in numerous Hong Kong films by the legendary Shaw Brothers, seen here circa early 1960s. Loh Ti died young, aged 31. Most western websites, nearly all of which have pasted their Loh Ti bios directly from Wikipedia, say suicide is rumored to be the cause but that the truth of this is debatable. It took us perhaps three minutes to find recollections online from people who actually lived in China or Hong Kong at the time, and they all confirm suicide.

Italian actress Monica Vitti, star of several great Michelangelo Antonioni films, as well as one critically slammed English language film, the camp spy thriller Modesty Blaise, shown here circa 1967 in a shot published in the Italian magazine Triunfo. 

Promo shot of iconic English actress and singer Jane Birkin from the French film Catherine et cie, aka Catherine & Co.,1975. 

Dutch actress Sylvia Kristel, shown here in two shots from the same photo session, with a wardrobe change in between, 1975. For reasons probably having to do with poor manual dexterity, she never got either outfit completely fastened. How embarassing. More Kristel wardrobe malfunctions here and here. By the way, don't you just love the drapes? 

There’s been a lot of death on the website recently, so today we’re reversing the trend by bringing back one of our earliest femmes fatales, Scottish actress Caroline Munro. She appeared such films as The Golden Voyage of Sinbad, The Spy Who Loved Me, and the awesome Star Crash. She was born today in 1950. 

Swedish actress Mia Nygren, seen here in a still from Francis Leroi and Iris Letans’ French softcore classic Emmanuelle IV, 1984.
