Allison Hayes in her most famous film ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN (1958)

  Allison Hayes knows how to get a viewers attention. I have raved about her performances in THE DISEMBODIED and THE HYPNOTIC EYE but she is most famous for the SCI-FI CULT CLASSIC: ATTACK OF THE 50 FOOT WOMAN.  It is a movie where you pull for Allison's character Nancy Fowler Archer  because her crummy husband, Harry Archer (William Hudson) is committing adultery on her with Honey Parker (Yvette Vickers)  and is planning to kill her and get her money. Harry is such a slime, he is actually amusing to watch him placate his poor wife   who has also suffered an encounter with a UFO and an Alien in which she gets the affliction of massive growth from.  Needless to say, Nancy becomes a giant herself, a rather attractive one and goes on a mission of revenge against Harry and Honey which ends in everyone's demise.  Anyhow it is a famous film. It may not be the best film, but it keeps Allison Hayes forever alive in film history. 

Allison Hayes in SHOTGUN SLADE episode THE MISSING TRAIN

  Shotgun Slade ran for 3 seasons and the star of the show Scott Brady (younger brother of tough guy brawling actor Lawrence Tierney) played the title character quite well. What was unique about the show is Shotgun Slade was a private detective during Western times. The shows opening theme and closing theme music was Jazz, and like the private detective shows Scott Brady did what is called the voice over where he narrates parts of the episodes. He did not carry a pistol which I found fascinating. Instead he carried a custom made over/under shotgun which had the shotgun in the bottom barrel and a 32 caliber in the upper barrel. He only wore an ammo belt, no pistol. Now to the Allison Hayes part.  Allison plays Franci Longo in the episode called THE MISSING TRAIN. Allison knows how to play the Femme Fatale with gusto! Here is the link to the episode on Youtube  Shotgun Slade: The Missing Train Enjoy!!!
