Beryl Reid, born in 1919, was a British actress known for her striking performances in cult cinema.

Reid also appears in Psychomania (1973), where her role adds a layer of intrigue to this unique blend of horror and dark humor. With a career that spanned decades, her work in films like Entertaining Mr. Sloane (1970) and Carry On Emmannuelle (1978) solidified her place in the realm of exploitation and grindhouse cinema.

The Assassination Bureau has existed for decades (perhaps centuries) until Diana Rigg begins to investigate it.
