01/16 Happy π₯³ #Celeboob Birthday π - Caroline Munro, a British actress and model known for her many appearances in science fiction and action films of the 1970s and 1980s. Most memorable role was of the slave girl in The Golden Voyage of Sinbad (1974). Hammer Films CEO Sir James Carreras spotted Munro on a Lambβs Navy Rum poster/billboard. He asked his right hand man, James Liggett, to find and screen test her. She was immediately signed to a one-year contract. Her first film for Hammer proved to be something of a turning point in her career. It was during the making of Dracula AD 1972 that she decided from this film onward she was a full-fledged actress. Up until then, she was always considered a model who did some acting on the side. Munro has the distinction of being the only actor ever signed to a long-term contract by Hammer Films. She would later turn down the lead female roles in Hammer's Dr. Jekyll and Sister Hyde, Frankenstein and the Monster from Hell, and the unmade Vampirella because they required nudity.
