Diane Clare

Biography

Diane Clare was an English actress, born in London, who began appearing in films as an infant, taking uncredited baby parts in The Ghosts of Berkeley Square and The Silver Fleet. By the age of three she had grown too old for such roles, and her career came to a stop. She made her comeback in The Reluctant Debutante (1958) and Ice Cold in Alex (1958), and her performance in Ice Cold in Alex earned excellent reviews, with one journalist forecasting a major future for her. Horror films of the 1960s made up much of her later work, among them the Hammer Films title The Plague of the Zombies (1966). In 1965 she played Julie in the Avengers episode Death at Bargain Prices. She died in 2013.
