Mara Corday

sad to hear - my favorite 50's sci fi actress - especially loved her in The Giant Claw

I've been a big fan of Ms. Corday since I first saw her in " Tarantula " a 1955 SCI FI classic! What a beautiful and talented actress she was! She will live forever thru her films and my deepest condolences to her family. R.I.P. Ms. Corday, you will be missed!!

Mara, my sister-in-law, has been my inspiration throughout my personal life and my career. Her beauty, humor, spontaneity and tenaciousness have influenced me throughout 45 years. I am sending my love to Valerie, Carey & Gregory for giving such great love and support to your mother in the various ways and manners and I know that she adored and respected you. And Valerie, did you get any use out of that blue suede midi coat and those Kastle skis?
My heart goes out to you, please look me up if you want,

One of my favorite Universal horror films has always been "Tarantula" from 1955. In 2021, Mara signed an autograph and sent it to me. I have always treasured it, and I´m so thankful that I have it. One of the last leading ladies from the classic era of horror films has left us. Fly high Mara! Thanks for the memories!

My heartfelt sympathy is with Mara´s family during this difficult time. May the fond memories always be cherished.

Mara Corday was not only a beautiful lady, but also a fine character actress. Her clever, deft performance as the sugar pouring waitress will long be remembered, opposite Clint Eastwood's "Dirty Harry". Mara, when you walked on screen, you always made my day. A million best wishes. RIP.
