Catriona MacColl

'Catriona MacColl' (qv) was born on October 3, 1954 in London, England. MacColl was initially a ballerina who trained at a top ballet school in England before suffering an injury that abruptly curtailed her burgeoning career as a dancer. In the wake of said injury Catriona joined a repertory company which eventually led to her moving to Paris, France where she acted in French television shows and played her first lead role as the titular character in _Lady Oscar (1979)_ (qv). MacColl acquired her greatest enduring cult cinema popularity by playing the female leads in three gruesome and atmospheric Italian horror films directed by 'Lucio Fulci' (qv): _City of the Living Dead (1980)_ (qv), _The Beyond (1981)_ (qv), and _The House by the Cemetery (1981)_ (qv). Catriona still continues to act in both movies and TV shows alike with pleasing regularity.::woodyanders
