Jane Randolph, a willowy beauty who was memorably terrorized by shadow and sound in one of the great suspense films of all time, the original "Cat People," died May 4 at a hospital near Gstaad, Switzerland, after breaking her hip. She was 93.

“Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein” (
That was almost as funny as “Abbott and Costello Jump a Shark”
RIP (but Nastassja Kinski was hotter than hell in the remake).
I loved Cat People, and she was great in her role.
RIP
Tom Conway was great as the debonair but very sleazy psychiatrist. I loved it when he got his comeuppance.
I love "The Cat People"! I don't know how many times I've seen it. She was in the remake, "Curse of the Cat People," as well.
A surprisingly perfect choice of words about the remake in the body of the article:
"Cat People" suffered a remake in 1982 by director Paul Schrader.
(Uh uh. I meant “sequel” for “Curse of the Cat People.”)
Cool Thnx!!
Well, of course, Simone Simon “made” the movie. But Conway made a great villain. He’s never really gotten much credit and pretty much stayed in the shadow of his far more famous brother, George Sanders. He was a great villain in Tarzan’s Secret Treasure, as well- again, debonair, but sleazy.
Yes he did, like the rest of that movie his role was unpredictable, fresh, and unique, it is a great movie that I watched again just last week, it holds up extremely well in my mind and for some reason I found the Serbian angle very exotic and exciting.
