Jessica Dublin in Ta paidia tou Diavolou a.k.a. Island of the Death (1975)

Jessica Dublin is an amazing actress who begin to work in the 70's both in Italy and Greece, and from the 90's also in the U.S. in Troma's movies.

She was born July 9, 1918 in New York City and died there 94 years later, on July 21, 2012. She was predeceased by her husband, Max Dublin, on August 15, 1982, and is survived by her son, Stephen Dublin, her daughter Carol Pfrommer, and her sister Alice Margolin. She led an adventurous life following her electrical engineer husband for extended stays in France, Germany, Italy, and Greece, with shorter stays in numerous other countries. While in Italy, Jessica embarked on a successful theatrical career where her blond good looks assured her of multiple roles. She spent her later years at home in Greenwich Village where she provided valuable counsel to young acting students.^[1]

"I telephoned Jessica Dublin at her home in New York ten years ago. She couldn't believe anyone was interested in her or her career and thought I was joking. I wrote to her but she never wrote back. I think she must be older than the 1942 date, probably more like 1932. She did tell me that Fellini discovered her. And her first (real) role was in La caduta degli Dei (1969)".^[2]
