Actress Patty Shepard, with nearly 50 Spanish and Italian films to her credit, has died of a heart attack in her home in Madrid on January 3rd. She was 68.

Born in South Carolina, Shepard moved to Madrid at age 18 to study philosophy and never left. She starred in a number of Paul Naschy films, including La Noche de Walpurgis (aka The Werewolf Versus the Vampire Woman) and Los Monstruos del Terror (aka Assignment Terror).



Other horror titles to her credit include:

Queen of the Vampires
Rest in Pieces
Edge of the Axe
Slugs
El Monte de las Brujas
My Dear Killer

I had no idea who she was until now, but 68 is quite young. Sad.

I take it she was one of those veteran actors or actresses who rarely, if ever, appeared on film without being same-language dubbed (meaning dubbed by someone else).

:( Awww. RIP. My favorite movie that she is in is My Dear Killer, though I've enjoyed her in everything I've seen of hers.

Rest In Pieces is a fun little horror flick, though Patty doesn't have a big part.
