  Barbara Steele's Ephemeral Skin: Feminism, Fetishism and Film
Barbara Steele's image, particularly as the reanimated Asa, replete with holes in her face from the hammering of a spiked mask into the witch, is, in the words of Phil Hardy “more than any other, the emblem and fetish of the genre”.
Steele's flesh is not material in that we can reach out and take her body as real, but it is material in that we enter into an affected and actual intensification and libidinal 'turning' with and inextricable from the images.
Steele's drama of totalisation as the fetish object for male fans of Italian horror is, worse than being burnt at the stake or donned with her mask, the real tragedy of her destiny.

 Barbara Steele - SCIFIPEDIA
Barbara Steele (December 29, 1937 -) is a British-born actress who escaped The Rank Organisation’s Charm School in the late 1950s and became an icon in Italian horror movies, thanks to her expressive eyes, distinctive cheekbones and the obsessive sexual undertones of many of her films.
After sharing the screen with Boris Karloff, Christopher Lee and Michael Gough in the disappointing Curse of the Crimson Altar (aka The Crimson Cult, 1968), she lent her iconic presence to David Cronenberg’s The Parasite Murders (aka Shivers/They Came from Within, 1975), Piranha (1978) and Silent Scream (1980).
Her cameo appearance was apparently deleted from the 1996 remake of The Island of Dr. Moreau after a change of director.
