ThatвЂ™s why I didnвЂ™t do too many films over the years. Also, I got into my married life, and I got into being a wife so I kind of let acting go. People like Malcolm McDowell in Clockwork Orange who is one of my favorites. I mean, I was on the Video Nasties List for godвЂ™s sake! (Laughs)But, if you see the list I was in great company. You just have to be really thick skinned to take the rejection. You have to have focus, determination, and drive in this industry. It neither helped it, or affected it in any way. Do you feel that this controversy helped your career or maybe affected it in some way?Д¬amille Keaton: It did neither. Horror Talk: You were of course the original Jennifer Hills in 1978вЂ™s I Spit On Your Grave, a film that was so shocking that it became imprinted on the Video Nasties List. IвЂ™m still proud of the film and itвЂ™s huge success. He had seen the photographs I had taken before, and he said he wanted me to be the main character Solange in the film, What Have You Done To Solange?. I later received a call from the director on the flight who had done a film called The Portrait Of Dorian Gray. I then went into Italian director, ZefirelliвЂ™s office to take some photographs. He told me he was an Italian director, and his name was Massimo Dellmano. How were you discovered? Was it something along the lines of someone witnessing you strolling down the street and noticing you, or was it more realistic? Day after day of grueling auditioning until lightning struck?Д¬amille Keaton: Well, I met this gentleman on a flight, and he started talking to me. My first question involves your beginning as an actress. Horror Talk: First of all, Camille, I wanted to tell you what an honor it is to speak with you today. The woman who will always hold the mantle of Jennifer Hills. So, before you view the newest portrayal of her iconic character by the talented Sarah Butler, sit down with me, wonвЂ™t you? And listen to the true legend. I received the honor of speaking to her about Italian thrillers, Sella Turcica, and of course a little taste of her feeling on the I Spit remake.

With the already acclaimed Toetag Picture, Sella Turcica, as well as her soon to be released thriller The Butterfly Room, whose cast list runs like a high school reunion for Scream Queens, Camille has definitely come back to the horror fold. She adores her fans, and of course we love her. Now, at age sixty, Camille is as beautiful, strong, relevant, and hardworking as ever. Of course I am speaking of Camille Keaton.Д¬amilleвЂ™s role is one of my absolute favorite horror females, and has been since that moment I got up the nerve to watch a film meant to shock, but a film at its core that was just a very good movie. She was up there with Sigourney Weaver, Jamie Lee Curtis, Adrienne King, as well as all of the other queens of this genre who were with us, who are with us, and are introducing themselves to the world presently. On the surface, I witnessed a horror bad ass, and in many senses of the word a true horror icon to be remembered.

In the character of Jennifer Hills I witnessed true pain, a woman who was justified in everything she had to do, and pure strength. And although these themes were visually apparent, I witnessed so much more. Finally, after having the tape sit there, Seeing situations happen in my real life to women, including my mother, not to mention I was not a sick bastard who got off on seeing women in pain made me a little hesitant. It all began when I was informed by friends to check out this crazy, old вЂњexploitationвЂќ film, a film that was apparently filled with extreme images of brutality, rape, and of course, revenge. I first witnessed this lovely woman in her 1978 Meir Zarchi film, I Spit On Your Grave, when I was still in high school. This special interview is no exception to those situations. But since I have become a writer, well, there has been nothing like it! The reason is the incredible people that I have had the opportunity to speak to, and of course, the legends that I have been an avid fan of for many years. Hey Fiend Club! I have got to tell you the month of October, and of course Halloween have always been my favorite moments of the year.
