RIP CELESTE YARNALL 1944-2018

Wow, another incredibly beautiful woman from my youth has passed away.

Yarnall started her wonderful career in 1962 with minor TV appearances which changed to larger and more recognizable roles in such fair as "Star Trek", "Bewitched" and "Gidget".

Her first well known movie role was in the 1966 film "Around The World Under The Sea" and then she moved on to other films like "Eve" and "Live A Little, Love A Little" with Elvis Presley.

She continued to work in many TV shows after her film with Elvis, but her real breakthrough film, at least for us horror fans was the 1970 epic "Beast Of Blood" co-starring John Ashley. This was the film that first introduced this gorgeous woman to horror film fans. She then went on to make "The Velvet Vampire" for Roger Corman and the rest is history.

A very captivating and beautiful woman, Yarnall was always fascinated that her two best remembered films were horror related, but she did have a loyalty to her many fans which you don't see with this modern crop of "actors".

Yarnall passed away on Oct. 8th, 2018 at the age of 74. RIP Velvet Vampire.
