Patty Shepard

Strikingly comely brunette Patty Shepard was born in 1945 in Greenville, South Carolina. The daughter of a U.S. Air Force official, Patty moved to Spain when she was only 18 years old. After becoming popular as a model in a series of TV commercials, the lovely Ms. Shepard embarked on an acting career, making her film debut in a small part in La ciudad no es para mí (1966) (aka « The City is Not for Me »). She initially acted in paella westerns and thrillers before appearing in a handful of horror movies which include Assignment Terror (1970) (aka « Dracula vs. Frankenstein »), The Werewolf Versus the Vampire Woman (1971) (aka « The Werewolf vs. the Vampire Woman »), Hannah, Queen of the Vampires (1973) (aka « Crypt of the Living Dead ») and El monte de las brujas (1975) (aka « The Witches’ Mountain ») and Special Killers (1973) (aka « La Ragazza di Via Condotti »). Patty often acted alongside Spanish horror icon Paul Naschy in these films and projects a certain eerie otherworldly aura that’s stunningly similar to Barbara Steele. Other films include the end-of-the-world science fiction feature Creation of the Damned (1974) (aka « Refuge of Fear ») and the tongue-in-cheek spaghetti Western oddity Blood Money (1974) (aka « The Stranger and the Gunfighter »). After appearing in the horror movies Rest in Pieces (1987) (aka « Rest in Pieces ») and Slugs (1988) (aka « Slugs »), Shepard retired from acting in the late 1980’s. She died of a heart attack at her home in Madrid, Spain on January 3, 2013.
