Judi Bowker.
Judi Bowker memorably played Andromeda in that film. And to some, it may be her best known role.
Judi made her film debut in Franco Zeffirelli’s St Francis of Assisi story BROTHER SUN, SISTER MOON in 1972. This was Zeffirelli’s follow up to ROMEO AND JULIET.
This led to a run of TV series in the UK, including THE ADVENTURES OF BLACK BEAUTY and SOUTH RIDING and several other shows and TV series that didn’t appear stateside. And, she appeared in the 1977 feature film about colonialism EAST OF ELEPHANT ROCK with John Hurt.
In 1977 Bowker appeared in an acclaimed BBC version of COUNT DRACULA. She played Mina with Louis Jordan as the Count.
Then in 1981 came CLASH OF THE TITANS. A favorite of those growing up in the area, she played Princess Andromeda, who Harry Hamlin’s Perseus must save from the Kraken.
In the years after CLASH, the only time she was seen on the big screen at least in the US was in the acclaimed 1985 British film THE SHOOTING PARTY. This film about friends on the eve of World War I also starred James Mason, Edward Fox and John Gielgud. It was a favorite of the A&E cable channel in the late 80's.
But other than that, she wasn’t seen by US audience.
So, What Ever Happened To Her?
After CLASH, Judi Bowker returned to British TV. She appeared in several TV miniseries in the 1980’s. There were a couple TV movies in the 1990’s and 2000's.
Mainly though, she spends her time on the stage. She is married to actor, director and playwright Harry Meacher. The two have toured together in several shows. She has also served as a co-director on some of his theatrical projects.
So, she is still out there.
