Ingrid found herself working a lot with Film/HammerHorror as the studio was undergoing its HotterAndSexier transformation to attract red-blooded viewers. Her role as LesbianVampire Carmilla Karnstein in ''Film/TheVampireLovers'' turned her into a sex symbol and cult icon. She starred in several other horror films, notably ''Film/CountessDracula'' and she has a small part in ''Film/TheWickerMan1973''. She did plenty of non-horror work but understandably the horrors are more remembered - and she enjoyed great popularity at conventions in the 80s and 90s.

* AwesomeDearBoy: As soon as she heard about ''Film/TheWickerMan1973'' she rang the director asking if there were any parts left. She took the small part of the librarian just to be in the film.

** In ''Film/TheWickerMan1973'' she's presumably meant to be as Scottish as the rest of the Summer Islanders.

* MsFanservice: She wasn't shy about getting naked in film. One of her few scenes in ''The Wicker Man'' is Howie walking in on her masturbating in the bathtub.

She died in 2010, and her final role ''Ingrid Pitt: Beyond The Forest'' was released posthumously five months later - a ShortFilm that was also animated and based off her Holocaust experiences.

Ingrid Pitt (born Ingoushka Pitt) was a Polish-British actress and sex symbol of the 70s.

She was born in 1937 right before World War II broke out. During the war in fact, she and her family were imprisoned in the Stuthoff concentration camp. Naturally she survived and later moved to California - where she shortened her first name to 'Ingrid' and [[WaitingForABreak started waiting tables in the hopes of becoming an actress]]. Her film debut was a small role in the epic ''Film/DoctorZhivago''.

* AwesomeDearBoy:[[invoked]] As soon as she heard about ''Film/TheWickerMan1973'' she rang the director asking if there were any parts left. She took the small part of the librarian just to be in the film.

* DyeHard:[[invoked]] Naturally brunette but was often a blonde.
* FakeNationality:[[invoked]] She was Polish but...

* FanCommunityNickname: [[invoked]]The Pitt of Horror.

* TheOtherDarrin:[[invoked]] ''Lust for a Vampire'' was intended as a sequel to ''Film/TheVampireLovers'' but Ingrid turned down the chance to play Carmilla again. This time she is played by Yutte Stensgaard.
* RealitySubtext:[[invoked]] Her role in the MadeForTVMovie ''Unity'' was as a Jew who is denounced by one of Hitler's socialite friends - which was uncomfortably close to her real life experiences.

* StarMakingRole:[[invoked]] ''Film/TheVampireLovers'' made her a cult icon.
* WordOfSaintPaul:[[invoked]] Ingrid always felt that although Carmilla was a lesbian, she was also asexual.

* {{Corpsing}}: One scene in ''Film/TheVampireLovers'' where she drinks from Kate O'Meara was constantly interrupted by hysterical giggles from Ingrid - because her vampire teeth kept falling out and into Kate's cleavage.
