Veronica Carlson (born Veronica Mary Glazier; 18 September 1944 โ 27 February 2022) was a British actress who was known for her roles in Hammer horror films. In 2019, she was inducted into the Rondo Hatton Classic Horror Awards' Monster Kid Hall of Fame.
Carlson was born in Emley, West Riding of Yorkshire, England, as Veronica Mary Glazier,[citation needed] the daughter of Edith (Allatt), a housemaid, and William Glazier, an RAF officer. Carlson spent most of her childhood in West Germany where her father was stationed. She attended the Thetford Girls' School , Lady Verney High School, High Wycombe and later the High Wycombe College of Art and Technology, where she studied art. It was here that she caught the acting bug, and she participated in college reviews and operettas.
In her mid-twenties, Carlson played a few minor parts in films and television programmes. She was still at college when she auditioned for the Morecambe and Wise film, The Magnificent Two. She had heard that they needed someone who knew judo, and as she had some basic moves she tried out. Most of the other girls were wearing bikinis, although there was one other person in judo garb. Carlson threw her over her shoulder, and she was given the job.
