Gloria DeHaven, born in Los Angeles in 1925, brings her distinctive presence to the cult horror film Bog (1979). Known for her earlier roles at MGM, DeHaven's career began as a child actor, but she found a unique niche in the realm of cult cinema. In Bog, she adds depth to the film's eerie atmosphere, embodying the spirit of the era's exploitation genre. Her transition from a promising starlet to a beloved figure in niche films highlights her enduring appeal within the cult film community.
Bog
Dynamite fishing in a rural swamp revives a prehistoric gill monster that lives on the blood of human females. When a local is fishing with dynamite in Bog Lake, something larger pops to the surface: a green bug-eyed monster awakened from a long sleep, which promptly begins killing fishermen who stumble across its lair. When biologist Ginny Glenn (Gloria DeHaven) discovers the creature's evolutionary nature, the local sheriff decides to use various methods to destroy the beast. Eventually the monster is killed after it is rammed with a truck, but its eggs remain.
