Who the hell does this actress remind me of?

So, tonight on the Horror channel a friend and I were watching the rather dodgy 1964 Hammer horror film "The Evil of Frankenstein".

One of the actors in it was a young woman by the name of Katy Wild.

Both of us went "Oh!  What have we seen her in recently...?" and so off I went to her IMDb entry to have a look.

Nope, nothing.  Well, nothing that I've ever seen, anyway.  And nothing that my friend has seen either.

Here's a photo of her in that very same production:



Familiar, perhaps?  A few other photos are available via GIS.

To me she has a touch of the Delia Derbyshires, Kim Deals and Julie Grahams, but I'm pretty sure that whoever she's specifically reminding me of is none of them, not least because my friend doesn't know who any of those people are, the philistine.  We both think she looks like some other starlet from another late-60s / early-70s horror film, but we can't think who.

Any ideas, anybody?  Many thanks in advance...


EDIT: I'd even add a bit of Damaris Hayman in, but again, my friend has never seen The Dæmons (at least, not yet...)

She has a look of Elaine Cassidy to me but she was only born in 1979 so it won't be her you're thinking of.

It's not Denise Buckley is it? I don't think they look alike but they have that dark hair, fair skin, natural eyebrows combination.

She look's a little bit like Bjork.

Or Maggie Philbin.

Mine, too.  There's a look of Leslie Caron as well; similar wide-ish-set eyes (although the lady in the OP[nb]Katy Wild.  Why am I being coy?[/nb] pic has darker eyes), lip-shape and slight overbite.  She also looks somewhat like Melissa Gilbert.

She has that cute ski jump nose thing going on. Jenny Agutter?

She does have a touch of the Maggie Philbins about her. Mixed with a bit of Hazel Irving.

Whole Hazel Irving! Cadbury's take her and they cover her in chocolate!

Sorry.

That's actually a good shout - have you been watching 'No Offence' recently, Ambient Sheep?[nb]Sadly, I haven't, as despite it having both Cassidy and the fantastic Joanna Scanlan in, I find it a bit shite.[/nb]

As for the age difference, well, I've had that on more than one occasion, where I've been convinced I've seen an actor in something else and found out it's a lookalike from decades before or after. When your brain is full of stuff like this, it gets confused after a while.

Lili Taylor? Linda Hunt? The Feral Kid from Mad Max 2?

My first thought was definitely Delia Derbyshire - she looks just like her!

Reminds me of Anna Maxwell Martin.


I knew if I scrolled far enough someone would save me trying to remember her name.
