Former child star Carla Blair was very popular with fans, making her films some of the most warmly received of all those Whiskerino Productions made.  She appeared in the Horror Canon in various guises including the playing of three roles in The Contagious Death (She was nominated for a beard for her performance).  She was very committed to her art, always claiming to be one of 'the professionals'.

   
Elsa Kleinman   Blair worked exclusively for the studio, retiring when it was finally sold off and broken up.  Some critics have said that this was due to her untiring devotion to Whiskerino Productions, but PDA Kirwan writes in his unpublished autobiography that she was often very difficult to work with.  Kirwan said she was a prima dona of the first order.  He asserts that she often demanded a re-take if she thought she appeared too far from the camera.
     
Old Hag A keen holiday maker and lover of the high life she was injured in an accident aboard her yacht during a shark diving party.  Despite deep bite wounds she was able to return to work the following summer, although she would never play the recorder again.
   
Now a complete recluse she lives in Somerset with her husband Eldridge.  She is the author of "Our Friends - Cats" and "No Beards on Us - behind the scenes at Whiskerino Productions" both sadly out of print.
