Full Biography
Lynn Monteil is an actress whose screen career flourished during the 1970s, primarily within the European exploitation and adult-oriented horror genres. She is best recognized for her collaborations with the prolific Spanish director Jesús Franco and the production house Eurociné. One of her most notable appearances is in the 1979 horror film "El sádico de Notre-Dame" (also known as The Sadist of Notre Dame or L'éventreur de Notre-Dame), where she is credited as Rose.
Her participation in Franco’s later works often utilized archival footage from earlier collaborations, a common technique in the director's filmography. For instance, her scenes in El sádico de Notre-Dame were largely repurposed from the 1975 film "Sexorcismes" (also known as Exorcism). Beyond her work with Franco, Monteil appeared in a variety of international co-productions, including the comedy "Célestine, Maid at Your Service" (1974), where she was credited as Lyne de Monteil, and the drama "Convoi de femmes" (1974).
Her filmography also includes titles such as "Captive Women 4" (1977) and "Six Swedes on a Campus" (1979), cementing her status as a prominent figure in the niche "Sleaze" and "Eurocult" cinema of that era. Despite her visibility in these cult classics, much of her personal life remains private, leaving her legacy primarily defined by her striking presence in European genre films.
