Adrienne Corri

Despite the Mediterranean flavor of her name, actress Adrienne Corri was born in Scotland and made her 1948 stage debut in London. A strikingly attractive redhead, Adrienne was often cast in seductive roles. Few of her big-budget films gave her much opportunity; she seemed more at home in such science fiction and horror items as Devil Girl from Mars (1954), Corridors of Blood (1958), The Tell-Tale Heart (1960) and Vampire Circus (1971). In films until 1979, Adrienne Corri was most spectacularly featured in Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange (1971), in which futuristic punk Malcolm McDowell ritualistically rapes her while dancing to the tune of "Singin' In the Rain" ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
