D.C. Comics, which owned the rights to the character Batman, won a huge lawsuit against JERRY WARREN (1925-1988), who was forced to pull WILD WORLD OF BATWOMAN from distribution. The film was eventually released as SHE WAS A HIPPY VAMPIRE. Other Warren films: 1955-Man Beast; 1958-Teenage Zombies; 1959-Face of the Screaming Werewolf; The Incredible Petrified World; 1960-Creature of the Walking Dead; 1962-Invasion of the Animal People; 1962-Terror of the Blood Hunters; 1963-Attack of the Mayan Mummy; 1964-Curse of the Stone Hand; 1965-Creature of the Walking Dead; and 1981-Frankenstein Island.

Born in New York and raised in California, KATHERINE VICTOR did some modeling after her first film, 1952's Mesa of Lost Women. With the exception of that film and Phil Tucker's Cape Canaveral Monsters (1960), she only did movies directed by Jerry Warren: Teenage Zombies; Curse of the Stone Hand; Creature of the Walking Dead; and Frankenstein Island. She has done voice work for several Hanna-Barbera cartoons including Jonny Quest and Jan of the Jungle. Victor currently does voices of animation characters for some of Disney's straight-to-video releases.
