"There is something you should realise. There are no women like me. I am unique. That makes me rather dangerous."
"It wasn't just the cropped hair or the maniacally arched eyebrows, it was the fact that whatever evil misdeeds Servalan, President of the corrupt Terran Federation, Ruler of the High Council, Lord of the Inner and Outer Worlds, High Admiral of the Galactic Fleets, Lord General of the Six Armies, and Defender of the Earth (phew), got up to, she did so decked out in sartorial creations which looked like they'd been dreamed up on another planet.Actress Jacqueline Pearce may well have felt somewhat typecast by the popularity of her character in Blake's 7, but she created one of the most memorable (and campest) screen villainesses in British television history - and for that, we will always be eternally grateful!
"She is, after all, the woman who crash-landed on a hostile planet wearing a full-length white evening gown, pearls and impossibly high heels. And, far from impeding her bid for planetary domination, this get-up, in fact, aided her dastardly plans. Move over Alexis Carrington, Servalan is the original power dresser." - The Scotsman
And then, there's this...
RIP Jacqueline Pearce (20th December 1943 – 3rd September 2018)
Awesome! Fabulous and Fierce!
ReplyDeleteIt's like watching a spectacular season of RuPaul's Drag Race! What style, poise, and presence! She had it all! She exemplifies what it takes to be a true, gorgeous, and indomitable queen:
Charisma
Uniqueness
Nerve and
Talent!
Love her wardrobe. But it must be a nightmare to go through airport security with all those jingling, dangling, shiny metallic pieces and jewelry. It'd be a pat down or cavity search everytime!
If any airport security dared to try and stop Servalan, she'd have them shot! Jx
DeleteFab vid ! there are some clever people out there.
ReplyDeleteNever underestimate a fan of sci-fi and of camp, dear! Jx
