Rest in Peace: Tura Satana
Sad news to report today. Another genre icon is no longer with us. One who helped pave the way in film for strong female characters, thus inspiring women everywhere. It’s with a really heavy heart that we report that the great and always sexy Tura Satana is no longer with us.
Details are extremely slim at the moment, and we will update once we have more, but according to Macabre Marilyn’s Some Like it Haute Blog the legendary Tura Satana passed away yesterday at 5:00pm PST in Reno, Nevada. She was 72.
Best known for her role as Varla in Russ Meyer’s Faster, Pussycat! Kill! Kill!, a part she lent her voice to to recreate recently in Rob Zombie’s The Haunted World of El Superbeasto, Tura truly left her mark in the industry and we’ve no doubt it will be there as long as film endures.
We here at Dread Central would like to take this time to offer our sincerest of condolences to Tura’s friends, family, and constituents. Rest in peace, oh great one. And thanks for revving all of our engines now and for years to come.
