Monica Swinn, (born Monika Swuine; 19 September 1948) is a Belgian actress, best known for her roles in French and European soft pornographic films of the 1970s, particularly those of the sexploitation and horror film genre. She starred in many of Jesus Franco's films, including Female Vampire (1973) as Princess de Rochefort and Women Without Innocence (1978) which occasionally featured her in hardcore lesbian scenes with Lina Romay and another Franco regular, Alice Arno; different versions of films such as the Female Vampire had to be produced because of their explicit scenes. She tended to play characters with a sexual vulnerability, usually maids, prisoners or isolated aristocratic women. According to Swinn herself she was typecast, recalling after reading a typical Franco script: "I'd mull over the previous scenes and think to myself, "this can't be the same character"; "how many films am I really making". Biography
Monica Swinn fait ses débuts au cinéma dans une série de productions belges. Après un premier film dirigé par David McNeil, elle tourne pour Roland Lethem, Christian Mesnil, Jean-Philippe Cornelis ou Noël Godin.
À partir de 1973, elle fait l'essentiel de sa carrière dans des films d'exploitation dans lesquels se mêlent sexe et horreur. On la retrouve souvent aux côtés d'autres « vedettes » du genre comme Alice Arno, Chantal Broquet, Pamela Stanford ou Lina Romay. Elle travaille souvent sous la direction du prolifique Jess Franco, parfois sans trop savoir dans quels films ses séquences seront utilisées.
Elle retrouve le cinéma belge avec Les petites sauvages, sorti en 1982, unique réalisation de Roger Darton, un collègue acteur des productions Eurociné.
