<p>Actress Ingrid Pitt, dubbed Hammer Films&#8217; Queen of Horror, has died aged 73, her daughter said.</p>
<p>The Polish-born star collapsed in London last week while on her way to an event hosted by members of her fan club.</p>
<p>Her daughter Steffanie Pitt said she was &#8220;a fantastic woman&#8221;.</p>
<p>Pitt was best known as a seductive screen siren in a string of British horror films including The Vampire Lovers and Countess Dracula.</p>
<p>She also had a minor part in the 1973 cult classic The Wicker Man.</p>
<p>Steffanie Pitt said: &#8220;She passed away this morning. It was heart trouble.</p>
<p>&#8220;She had a couple of bad years, health-wise, but she had fought through.</p>
<p>&#8220;Anyone who knew my mother would say she was incredibly feisty and determined to make a good fist of everything she wanted to do.&#8221;</p>
<p>Robin Hardy, the director of The Wicker Man, said he had &#8220;very good memories&#8221; of Pitt.</p>
<p>He said: &#8220;She was a very attractive person in every sense. She was a perfectly good actress but a very decent person as well, not that those two things don&#8217;t often go together.&#8221;</p>
