Annik Borel, a stunning, statuesque, and curvaceous blonde actress, made a lasting impression in a limited yet captivating array of 1970s exploitation films, showcasing her talents on both European and American screens.
Born Anne Borel in 1948 in Besancon, France, she began her cinematic journey with a memorable debut as the predatory, swinging, and bisexual girlfriend of a drug dealer in the provocative "Weekend With the Babysitter".
Borel's subsequent appearance on the popular sitcom "The Odd Couple" further demonstrated her acting range. Her minor roles in the films "Blood Orgy of the She Devils" and "Truck Turner" showcased her versatility, with the former featuring her as a persecuted witch and the latter as a topless hooker.
However, it was her lead role as a troubled young woman who believes she is a werewolf in Rino Di Silvestro's outrageously campy Italian horror film "Werewolf Woman" that cemented her status as a cult figure in the world of schlock cinema.
Following her appearances in the European trash pictures "Black Aphrodite" and "Erotic Encounters", Annik Borel seemingly vanished from the acting scene, leaving behind a legacy as a fascinating and enigmatic figure in the world of exploitation cinema.
