Elizabeth Turner was a model and another foreign starlette who entered in the vortex of Italian Cinema of the seventies, always looking for new faces.

She often participated in small roles, finally getting a co-star role in the erotic movie Ondata di piacere (1975) and in the Antonio Margheriti's shocking masterpiece Apocalypse domani (1980).

Let's start with just an appearence in Noi donne siamo fatte così - segment "Il mondo cammina" (1971) as Party guest

Small comic role in L'uccello migratore (1972) as Ingrid, Michele's lover
In a short sequence, during a rendez vous, she comes out of the bedroom and sees the protagonist making faces in the mirror, frightening to death and running away.

In Lucrezia giovane (1974) as Giulia, Pope Alessandro VI's lover
A fairly important role, protagonist of some sequences in which she sees herself undressed, with beautiful close-ups on her.

In The Exorcist rip-off Chi sei? (1974) as Barbara Staton
Face to face with the devil in this horror flic, with another significant role.
Grappling with the pestiferous child interpreted by David Colin Jr.

Again naked in La dottoressa sotto il lenzuolo (1976) as The german lover
In this sexy-comedy she plays the character of a woman who gets excited first with a stranger (played by Angelo Pellegrino) to make love with her partner.

A small uncredited role, in a duet with Jerry Calà, in Arrivano i Gatti (1980) as Drunk actress at the party

Particularly in tune for the sophisticated and refined atmosphere of Fulci's giallo Sette note in nero (1977) as Virginia's mother

Finally her biggest and most important role in Margheriti's Apocalypse domani (1980) as Jane Hopper
Strange that her last film is the one where she can best express her talent as a dramatic actress.

Elizabeth Turner was originally a fashion model, and in the early 1970s she was frequently featured in the fashion pages of many fotoromanzo magazines from famed publisher Lancio - always under the name Joan.
