Madeline Smith (born on 2 August 1949, Hartfield, Sussex) is an English actress/comedienne who was a model in the 1960s and appeared in many 1960s/1970s comedy films ( including Carry On Matron ), and TV series and Hammer horror films.
Her TV credits included The Two Ronnies, Clochemerle, Doctor in the House, The Steam Video Company, His and Hers with Tim Brooke-Taylor, and In The Looking Glass ( a series also starring John Wells, John Fortune and Carl Davis - an unforgettable episode centred around the players on a gigantic Monopoly board).
Madeline Smith first worked for Hammer films in 1969's TASTE THE BLOOD OF DRACULA, in the role of an East End prostitute, a role which offered her no dialogue, just lots of childlike pouting. She is credited as Maddy Smith in this film. Her cult status as a Hammer heroine is derived primarily from THE VAMPIRE LOVERS (1970) and FRANKENSTEIN AND THE MONSTER FROM HELL (1974).
Some of her most notable films include:
- The Vampire Lovers
- Up Pompeii
- The Amazing Mister Blunden
- Roger Moore's first James Bond film Live and Let Die
- Theatre of Blood
