Zohra Lampert (born May 13 1937) is an American character actress, who's had roles on film, television and stage. She is perhaps best remembered for her role as the title character in the 1971 cult horror film "Let's Scare Jessica to Death".

Biography

Personal life

Lampert was born in New York, the daughter of Russian Jewish immigrants Rachil (née Eriss), a draper and hatmaker, and Morris Lampert, an architect and ironworker. [ [http://www.filmreference.com/film/24/Zohra-Lampert.html Zohra Lampert Biography (1937-) ] ] Lampert attended New York's High School of Music and Art, and then the University of Chicago. She was briefly married to actor Bill Alton from 1957 to 1958.

Career

After initially working for several years on stage, eventually reaching Broadway in a Tony-nominated performance in 1961s "Look We've Come Through", she scored with a pair of small but noteworthy performances in the films "Pay or Die" and "Splendor in the Grass". Throughout most of the 1960s and 1970s she kept busy with a series of mostly supporting roles in film and television, winning an Emmy for her performance as a sinister Gypsy in a 1975 episode of "Kojak", and she also costarred with Gena Rowlands in the 1978 John Cassavetes film, "Opening Night". She was a regular in the sitcom "The Girl With Something Extra" and the medical drama "Doctors' Hospital". During the early 1970's, she created the role of Ellie Jardin on the CBS soap,"Where the Heart Is" and played the role until her character was killed off in 1972.

During the 1980s and 1990s, she worked much less, though she could be seen in roles as diverse as "The Exorcist III" (playing late actor George C. Scott's wife), and the offbeat 1999 film, "The Eden Myth".
