My favorite actress from and Irwin Allen TV shows has died. Deanna Lund who turned 81 this past May 30th died on June 23rd less than a month later.
Lund, of course, starred in "Land Of The Giants" as Valerie Scott, one of the little people stranded on a mysterious planet of giants. After seeing her in this show I fell in love with her, or should I say lust.
Lund also appeared in some of my favorite films including "Dr. Goldfoot and The Bikini Machine" as a robot and "Sting Of Death" which as everyone who reads this blog knows is a top 10 favorite film of all time for me.
She acted in many other TV shows including "The Loner", "My Brother The Angel" and much more during her career that spanned 55 years. Deanna was also in two Elvis films, "Spinout" and "Paradise Hawaiian Style".
I first saw Lund in "Land Of The Giants" but I loved everything she did which also included a great little movie I reviewed here a while back called "Dimension 5" and her performance in the original Batman TV show as a character named Anna Gram.
Rest in Peace to a truly beautiful woman who entertained me for countless hours during my formative years.
