Susan George

Biography

Susan Melody George (born 26 July 1950) is an English film and television actress. She is best known for appearing in films such as Straw Dogs (1971) with Dustin Hoffman, Dirty Mary, Crazy Larry (1974) with Peter Fonda and Mandingo (1975) with Ken Norton. In the early and mid 1970s, George played provocative, sometimes controversial roles (such as Amy Sumner in Straw Dogs, and Blanche Maxwell in Mandingo) and became typecast. Cinema writer Leslie Halliwell described her as a "British leading lady, former child actress; usually typed as sexpot". Her lighter side was apparent in some of her TV appearances, such as in an episode ("The Gold Napoleon") of The Persuaders (1971) with Roger Moore and Tony Curtis. In 1988, George marked her film-producing debut with Stealing Heaven. Also on TV, George played the role of Vicky Duncan in "Czech Mate", an acclaimed episode of Hammer House of Mystery and Suspense (1984).
