#within a few short years of this first ever screen role‚ Barbara would be an internal sensation and a proto scream queen
#known for her horror film appearances in the UK‚ the US and (perhaps most iconic) in Italy
#black sunday‚ the pit and the pendulum‚ castle of blood... over the next decade she would make some of the most memorable and
#unnerving gothic horror films of the era‚ working with the best directors in the genre
#perhaps unsurprisingly‚ having found such success so young‚ her genre tv credits are very few; in the uk she made just this episode
#of Dial 999 and‚ seven years later‚ a single Danger Man appearance. mostly she was kept busy in Italy where she fast became the face
#of beautiful gothic terror.. as i said in the Pat Troughton and Bill Hartnell posts‚ finding an exact transmission order for Dial 999
#seems pretty fruitless‚ but most online sources agree this was shown 6th (network have it as episode 8 but lord knows what order they're
#following‚ possibly they just bunged them all on disc in any old order). toni miller is said to be 19 in the script‚ which i raised an
#eyebrow at‚ but actually Barbara was only 20 at the time; she carries herself with a lot confidence and professionalism for such a young
#performer (and again‚ this was literally her first screen work). it's not the most rewarding part (she's the passive innocent strung along
#by a serial killer of runaway girls) but she brings a certain starry eyed naivety to it that's more charming than the script suggests
#oh god i just saw an earlier tag says internal sensation when i meant international.. but I'm on mobile and can't edit tags
