Annik Borel

Biography

Annik Borel was a gorgeous, statuesque and voluptuous blond actress who popped up in a handful of enjoyably sleazy 70's exploitation features made in both Europe and America. She was born as Anne Borel in 1948 in Besancon, France. Borel made a memorable film debut as a drug dealer's predatory swinging bisexual girlfriend in the sordid "Weekend With the Babysitter." She then made a guest appearance on an episode of the hit sitcom "The Odd Couple." Annik has minor parts in two movies: she's a persecuted witch in Ted V. Mikels' cruddy "Blood Orgy of the She Devils" and a topless hooker in the funky blaxploitation blast "Truck Turner." Borel achieved her greatest enduring schlock cult cinema fame with her lead role as a troubled young lady who thinks she's a werewolf in Rino Di Silvestro's outrageously scuzzy Italian horror hoot "Werewolf Woman." Alas, following her appearances in the European trash pictures "Black Aphrodite" and "Erotic Encounters" Annik Borel suddenly quit acting and seems to have disappeared altogether.
