Marie Devereux, a stunning beauty, was photographed partially nude during her teenage years. As the 1950s unfolded, she became a regular fixture in men's magazines, posing nude for various publications. In addition to her modeling career, Devereux also dabbled in the film industry, often playing sultry and alluring characters in comedies, dramas, and horror movies. Her early cinematic endeavors were under the guidance of renowned directors, including Terence Young, who helmed the film "Serious Charge".
Devereux's talent was soon recognized by the esteemed Hammer Film production company, which cast her in three of their most notable films. The first was "The Stranglers of Bombay" (1959),directed by the master of the genre, Terence Fisher, in which she portrayed a devotee of the goddess Kali. She then appeared as one of the "Brides of Dracula" (1960) and later starred in John Gilling's "The Pirates of Blood River" (1962),where she played a charming village girl. Devereux also impressed audiences in Guy Green's critically acclaimed drama "The Mark" (1961).
After her stint in Italy, where she served as Elizabeth Taylor's stand-in on the epic film "Cleopatra" (1963),directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz, Devereux traveled to Hollywood. She continued to work in television and appeared in two cult classics directed by Samuel Fuller, "Shock Corridor" (1963) and "The Naked Kiss" (1964). Eventually, Devereux decided to trade in her acting career for a quieter life in the United States, marrying and starting a family. She retired from the entertainment industry, opting for a more peaceful existence.
