BREAKING NEWS: The Spanish and French-language media is reporting that Spanish sexploitation star Lina Romay has died of cancer at the age of 57. The longtime companion of director Jesus (aka Jess) Franco, Lina appeared in 118 European horror/exploitation films (many of them directed by Franco), most notably The Female Vampire (1973) and Mansion of the Living Dead (1985), and bared it all in 25 of them; she was known for her smouldering sexuality and magnetic onscreen prescence.
Lina was unapologetic about her skin-filled career, and told reporters that "I will not change anything. I never had problem neither for nudity, nor for the scenes of sex. This level, I will not change absolutely anything."
Lina was a beloved cult figure around the world, and will be missed by her many fans as well as Franco, her lover of nearly 40 years, who referred to her as his "muse."
