Carolyn Craig

Carolyn Craig leaves me with a quiet ache. Born Adele Ruth Crago in Valley Stream, New York, she is remembered above all as Nora Manning in William Castle's 1959 cult shocker House on Haunted Hill, a performance that secured her a small but permanent place in horror history. Then her life ended in 1970 at just thirty-six. There is something about brief careers like hers that makes the surviving work glow more intensely. I want to keep names like Craig's in circulation, because a single memorable role deserves to outlast the silence that followed it.
