The girl hanging from the bell at the beginning -- actress Carrie Baker

According to her IMDb page Dracula Has Risen from the Grave is her only acting credit.

Never heard of her doing the convention circuit. Too bad. It may have been her only role, but that shot of her hanging upside down in the bell is pretty iconic,

I'd love a signed copy.

Baker is also the girl corpse that the priest tips out of her coffin so that he can steal it for Dracula's use. The plaque on the coffin reads 'Gisela Heinz 1885 - 1905'. Presumably it's the same character, i.e. Gisela was the girl who was hanging from the bell. The corpse shows some signs of decay. It also looks as though it might have been staked at some point, which would make sense as the townspeople wouldn't want her returning as a vampire.

I think Carrie Baker is also the model used in the US poster for the movie (the photo of the girl with two bandaids on her neck),

A lot of people have assumed it's actress Veronica Carlson, the movie's female lead (and it's sometimes credited as such). But the girl on the poster has a cleft chin (something I've never noticed on Carlson), and the picture of Baker hanging from the bell shows that she too has a cleft chin.

A lesser seen variation on the US poster shows the girl's face properly,

Definitely not Carlson.

Baker is upside down in the bell photo, which obviously affects the facial features; but I believe it's her in both pictures.

Wonder where she is and what she's doing now...
