Cristina Galbó (born 17 January 1950) is a Spanish actress who achieved moderate fame in Europe during the late 1960s and early 1970s, making a name for herself in film mostly for European horror films.

Arguably her best role is as "Elizabeth Seccles", a boarding school girl having an affair with a married professor of Italian and gymnastics, in the 1972 Massimo Dallamano shocker What Have You Done to Solange? A recent DVD release of her 1975 film The Killer Must Kill Again, the most notable work of Luigi Cozzi (a friend and associate of giallo film master Dario Argento) has presented her controversial work in that more obscure representative of the Italian horror genre.

Cozzi mentions on his DVD commentary for the film how Galbó was uncomfortable with the film's most disturbing scene, the killer's rape of her kidnapped and abused character. Galbó also has a significant role in another boarding school shocker, Narcisco Ibanez's 1969 Spanish film The House That Screamed.

Biography

Elle obtient son premier rôle à 8 ans, mais est réellement découverte à 13 ans dans Del rosa al amarillo de Manuel Summers, populaire drame romantique qui lui vaut le prix de la révélation du festival de Saint-Sébastien en 1963. On la retrouve peu après incarner Bernadette Soubirous dans Aquella joven de blanco de León Klimovsky, puis dans la comédie La ciudad no es para mí de Pedro Lazaga.

Elle est cependant essentiellement connue comme actrice de cinéma bis, alternant westerns spaghetti (Un doigt sur la gâchette de Gianni Puccini, Deux fois traître de Nando Cicero), films d'horreur espagnols (La Résidence de Narciso Ibáñez Serrador, Le Massacre des morts-vivants de Jorge Grau) et gialli italiens (Mais... qu'avez vous fait à Solange ? de Massimo Dallamano, L'assassino è costretto ad uccidere ancora de Luigi Cozzi). Elle est récompensée du prix de la meilleure actrice au festival du film fantastique de Sitges en 1974.

Dans les années 1980, elle se retire de l'industrie cinématographique pour devenir professeur de flamenco en Californie.

In a 19th-century French boarding school for troubled girls, Headmistress Señora Fourneau (Lilli Palmer) forbids her teenage son Luis (John Moulder-Brown) near any of the girls, finding none of them good enough for him. A series of murders begin taking place after the latest arrival of a new student, Teresa (Cristina Galbó), and Fourneau's assistant Irene (Mary Maude). Fourneau investigates these deaths, eventually leading her to the attic where she finds that Luis' frustrated desires have forced psychotic urges to the surface, compelling him to stalk the hapless girls to acquire body parts in order to create his own "ideal woman". Luis then locks up his mother with his new creation so that his mother can get acquainted with her future "daughter-in-law".
