About this title

Synopsis

They were imperiled in such flicks as The Man from Planet X, The Brain from Planet Arous and Phantom from Space. They fended off The Mummy's Ghost, Robot Monster and The Mole People. And they screamed a lot. They were damsels menaced by often otherworldly monsters and madmen. Twenty heroines recall what it was like to play endangered women in science fiction, horror, film noir and mystery movies from the 1930s to the 1960s.
