Hazel Court Passes On

Very sad news indeed. Hazel was a natural beauty and a real talent. She was also a very charming lady.
Her autobiography will be published next month. It's a shame she won't see it as I know she was due to appear at a few events for a signing.
My thought are with her family.

Here's a nice little tribute to Hazel over at my friend Holgers web page.

I have just this minute read about her passing on the bbc web site.
Very sad news. I never met her, but would have loved to do so.
She was a very elegant lady and my thoughts go out to her family and friends.

I was sad to hear of Hazel's passing. I always thought she brought a real touch of style to her roles.

When I was young, I had quite a crush on Hazel Court. It was always so nice to hear that she was a kind, generous person in 'real life.' Apparently, she used to answer all of her fan mail personally. Why, oh why did I never write to her? She will be remembered well.

Be excused become repetitive, but I only get to think: " Our sky is being rare of true stars."

Oh my goodness...I didn't even hear about this. This is sad news indeed. She was a great actress indeed. Rest in Peace. :(

Hello everyone,

Really sad news about the passing away of Hazel Court. A fine actress who brought class and beauty to her roles. Her performance in The Raven stands out in my mind, where she played the devilishly wicked Lenore Craven, alongside Vincent Price, Boris Karloff, Peter Lorre, and a very young Jack Nicholson. A stellar cast indeed, and a brave idea to make Poe's poetic masterpiece into a black comedy. And from reading the obituaries online it seems that she always took time to reach out to her fans, answering each of the numerous letters she received personally. I am sure that she will be missed by many people around the world. My condolences to her family, friends and loved ones at this sad time.

Hazel Court RIP (1926-2008)

With saddest affection,

Andrés

Very sad to hear about Hazel Court. I have2 or 3 of her films on DVD so at least I have something to remember her by.
