 As Allhallows pointed out in his induction of Candice Hilligoss....some players had such an impact on the collective memory of fans as  to become unforgettable...even if their roles were few. Virginia Leith...in the BRAIN THAT WOULDN'T DIE-as chosen by Dennis is another fine example-as is this lady....

61. Maila Nurmi - aka VAMPIRIA!!!

As well as being a horror movie hostess in the 50's and in the infamous PLAN 9 from OUTER SPACE, she appeared in the BEAT GENERATION (1959), SEX KITTENS GO TO COLLAGE (1960), and the MAGIC SWORD (aka ST.GEORGE and the SEVEN CURSES ,1962) !

The ghoul of my screams!

61 - William Shatner - This might be a controversial nomination, due to the Shatman's status as a TV icon, successful author, recording artist, all-around celebrity, etc., etc. However, he's been in his share of b-movies, particularly in the lean years between Star Trek and, well, Star Trek. Films like Big Bad Mama, Impulse, The Devil's Rain, Kingdom of the Spiders. And even during the Star Trek movie and T. J. Hooker years, he could be found in things like Visiting Hours and Airplane II.

Shatner definitely belongs, AndyC.  Good choice.





62.  Sybil Danning - "Ripaway Bra Queen of the 80s."  After doing a ton of softcore porn movies in Germany, Sib "graduated" to roles in such notable B-flicks as BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS, CHAINED HEAT, JUNGLE WARRIORS, MALIBU EXPRESS, HOWLING II: YOUR SISTER IS A WEREWOLF (unforgettable in the end credits!), REFORM SCHOOL GIRLS, AMAZON WOMEN ON THE MMON, and was even featured in a fake trailer on GRINDHOUSE.

63. Arch Hall Jr.
I don't know what to write. His "performance" in Eegah is more than enough to get him on the list. He was in other b-movies too, such as The Sadist, but Eegah is a Lovecraftian horror that shall not be forgotten. Some wounds don't heal.  His magic guitar still haunts me...ARGH! MAKE IT STOP!

64. EDUARDO CIANELLI

He was the High Priest in THE MUMMY'S HAND, he was Doctor Satan in the MYSTERIOUS DR. SATAN, he was Dr. Van Glock in THE CREEPER. Often the mysterious foreigner in whatever role he played on TV or in the movies, Ciannelli might be often overlooked but he belongs on this list. He also appeared in MONSTER FROM GREEN HELL, THE STRANGER'S HAND, THE SHIP OF CONDEMNED WOMEN, SEVEN KEYS TO BALDPLATE, CRIME DOCTOR'S WARNING, CRIME DOCTOR'S GAMBLE, BULLDOG DRUMMOND'S BRIDE amongst others.

[Allhallowsday]

The numbering is off, SHATNER is 62, so 66: MARIA OUSPENSKAYA best remembered playing BELA's mother in THE WOLF MAN, is always a treat to find in the old movies... she also appeared in FRANKENSTEIN MEETS THE WOLF MAN, TARZAN AND THE AMAZONS, BEYOND TOMORROW, JUDGE HARDY AND SON...

67. PETER GRAVES

While perhaps more famous for his appearances in the AIRPLANE films and the TV Series "Mission Impossible", Graves has done more than his share of B-movie work. His filmography includes RED PLANET MARS, BENEATH THE 12 MILE REEF, KILLERS FROM SPACE, IT CONQUERED THE WORLD, BEGINNING OF THE END, THE EYE CREATURES, THE CLONUS HORROR just to name a few of the more notable ones.

68. Angelo Rossitto



Only 2'11", Rossitto was one of the most famous and recognizable dwarf actors in film history. He started in silents starring alongside John Barrymore in BELOVED ROGUE and finished his career almost 60 years later starring alongside Mel Gibson and Tina Turner in MAD MAX: BEYOND THUNDERDOME.



He played in mainstream films like CAROUSEL, OLD SAN FRANCISCO, and A MIDSUMMER'S NIGHT DREAM, but is best remembered in cult films like FREAKS, SEVEN FOOTPRINTS OF SATAN, DEMENTIA, MESA OF LOST WOMEN, several Al Adamson films such as BRAIN OF BLOOD and DRACULA VS. FRANKENSTEIN, several films with Bela Lugosi (who reported had tons of respect for Rossitto) such as GHOSTS ON THE LOOSE, THE CORPSE VANISHES, and SCARED TO DEATH, and many television series including reoccurring roles on GUNSMOKE, HR PUFNSTUF, and BARETTA. 

Rossitto was not in THE WIZARD OF OZ.

DOES NOT COMPUTE

[JJ80]

No.69 - I know that I probably cooked my goose for this thread on the first day but how about Lee Van Cleef. A mainstay of spaghetti westerns including Leone's "Dollars Trilogy" and "Sabata" he also appeared in American classics like "Gunfight At The O.K Corral" and "High Noon". He also starred in B-Sci-Fi favourite "It Conquered The World" as treacherous scientist Tom Anderson and as the Rhedosaurus slaying Corporal Stone in the classic "Beast From 20,000 Fathoms". He wasn't bad in the B-star studded "Escape From New York " either!

Nah...yer goose ain't cooked...besides...I'm burnt since the late '70s !
Lee Van Cleef is a great one! I watched 'em the other day in KANSAS CITY CONFIDENTIAL!

# 70. WILLIAM SMITH (and I don't mean Will although some might well argue a modern day case for the Fresh Prince too). Smith was often the heavy, the villain in more movies than I can even seem to remember. Hell he's still making 'em. He seemed to be in almost everything at one point. Just a huge imposing figure of a man and definitely did not look like someone you wanted to mess about with. His mini-biography at the IMDB starts off "Biker, bare-knuckle brawler, cowboy, Bee-Girl fighter, vampire hunter . . . William Smith has done it all."



He's been in THE GHOST OF FRANKENSTEIN (as the village boy),  ATLANTIS THE LOST CONTINENT, RUN ANGEL RUN, ANGELS DIE HARD, THE LOSERS, C.C. AND COMPANY, CHROME AND HOT LEATHER, PIRANHA, THE THING WITH TWO HEADS, HAMMER, INVASION OF THE BEE GIRLS, THE LAST AMERICAN HERO, GRAVE OF THE VAMPIRE, POLICEWOMAN, BOSS n****r, THE ULTIMATE WARRIOR, BLOOD & GUTS, HOLLYWOOD MAN, CONAN THE BARBARIAN, EYE OF THE TIGER, HELL COMES TO FROGTOWN, MEMORIAL VALLEY MASSACRE,  MANIAC COP, THE LAST RIDERS, WARRIORS OF THE APOCOLYPSE and even more.
