Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to find much of anything on her. In fact, to learn more, I ended up letting Google translate several pages in Italian and Spanish and German for me. And it’s there that I learned that Diana was:
actually called ana maria vega Cazorla, is one of the actresses of spaghetti, was born in Madrid in 1940 I was formed in the theater and as a classical dancer dance and flamenco. How often the case, he made the leap from theater to film, where he became a face was regular, but always of B-movies: horror, action, science fiction, spaghetti western, was in the latter genre where a hole was carved, but the decline of himself and his marriage in 1978, also the year of his last film, definitely away from the screens, to pursue his private life.
Couldn’t have said it better myself.

I have to disagree with three of your film choices for Diana Lorys as "embarrassing". The Orloff film is a very respected cult film that is said to actually be responsible for the huge horror cinema boom in Spain in the late 60s from which we received MANY classics. Also, BLUE EYES OF THE BROKEN DOLL (House of Psychotic Women) was an excellent entry in the giallo genre helmed by Spain's own horror maestro, Paul Naschy. And lastly, Fangs of the Living Dead (MALENKA) is Amando De Ossorio's first horror outing starring none other than the incredible Anita Ekberg, and not a terrible film, when seen in it's original and uncut form. I'm not sure how you were meaning "embarrassing, but if Diana did happen to see this, I'd like for her to know, that as for me, well, she has NO reason to be embarrassed, and I am grateful for the work she did in so many films.
ReplyDeleteAh, I'm mostly going by the title. I mean, you gotta assume Fangs of the Living Dead is probably not a Bergman or a Fellini, right?
