Another Cult Siren enjoys a birthday on this date, this time Sybil Danning gets to blow the candles (but how many, really?)!

I know that she’s the ultimate Batgirl, but for me Yvonne Craig was more alluring as a green-skinned alien in the original Star Trek series. Even at 72 today, she remains a youthful individual!

Legendary sex icon and fetish model Bettie Page turns 85 on this day. Her legacy and appeal are still impressive today… and will be for many ages to come.

Another ageless Bond Girl, Talisa Soto turns 41 today. Motherhood (two children with Benjamin Bratt) has been her principal occupation these last few years, so don’t pray right now for a sequel to Vampirella!

This is it, the last of four chapters for this amazing series starring Meiko Kaji as the title character. I conclude this small tribute on this very day, as star Meiko turns 61! Was this installment very necessary, considering how the previous episode ended? Well, no, to tell the truth. Sasori is still on the lam but will eventually find help with a technician that works in a strip joint. This guy has been crippled in the past by police brutality and is delighted to help someone who’s considered a fugitive of the law. Will Sasori find it in her bruised heart to trust a man? And is she really getting some? And how many movie screen characters how you seen kill an enemy using a flower? Watch out for these female prison guards, with awesome uniforms and boots giving us memories Ilsa, She-Wolf of the SS! And they don’t seem to mind watching prime beefcake in magazines, either!
With a new director, this movie has a couple of typical astonishing scenes with awesome color effects, but Yasuharu Hasebe is no Shunya Ito. I was also a bit disappointed that Sasori is involved in the needless and not so accidental death of a minor character, which is contrary to her character’s motivations. Still, she utters one of her longest monologue in the series (like, four or five consecutive sentences!).
Besides some reservation in the way the series was being treated (script, budget), this is still heads ahead of the majority of WiP offered worldwide, an unexpected haunting experience. The series would continue with different actresses beginning in 1976 with New Female Prisoner Scorpion 701, but with limited success.
















Ursula Andress has been one of my first guests on the main site, and she effortlessly brought good luck and lots of visitors for Cult Sirens. The ultimate Bond Girl turns a youthful 72 today.

Tall Siren Nancy Kovack turns 73 today. She’ll always remain the amazing Medea from Jason and the Argonauts in 1963.

We round up busy February’s list of birthday with Stephanie Beacham, who was last seen in the horror movie Plot 7. Hummm, as anyone ever seen that film?

And another Siren birthday! This day it’s time to celebrate an important landmark in the life of the person who is probably one of the most important actress that I was ever a fan of, the unique Miou-Miou.
