Lana Clarkson
A straight-to-video B-movie starlet, actress Lana Clarkson might have gone down a mere footnote in Hollywood history, were it not for her star-making turn in death. Best remembered as the heroine of Roger Corman's low-budget "Barbarian Queen" movies, this leggy, attractive blond sadly never achieved the respect or fame she had hoped for in life. Ironically, though, Clarkson gained immortality -and a place in the annals of Hollywood Babylon - as the result of her mysterious shooting death in 2003.
