Susy Andersen, the blonde one, and other female gladiators in THOR AND THE AMAZON QUEEN

I like Susy Andersen. She only made a handful of PEPLUM films and yet I'm a fan. My question is: what happened to her? This is one of the frustrating things about the PEPLUM genre. All these interesting actors and artists and nothing about them. I like her character in it. She is forced to fight even though it's against her principles. Even though the movie could have ended up in the exploitation level, and it does to a certain level, it actually remains serious all the way to the end. The story can be seen as camp by many but the direction is serious. One of the first movie released in HD!
