My Take
Dana Wynter is the sort of classic-era actress I wish more people still talked about. Berlin-born, British-raised, and educated as far afield as Rhodes University in South Africa, she carried a genuinely international elegance. Tall, dark and poised, she could play victim and villain with equal conviction, and her turn in 1956's Invasion of the Body Snatchers remains quietly unforgettable. A career spanning more than forty years across film and television tells me she had the kind of real, unfaddish presence that outlasts trends. I admire the intelligent, multifaceted glamour she brought to every role.
