Barbara Steele

From The Dark Shadows Wiki

Barbara Steele (b. December 29th, 1937) was a British actress that played the roles of Dr. Julia Hoffman and Countess Natalie DuPres on the 1991 NBC Dark Shadows revival series. Her likeness was used to illustrate her respective characters in the various comic book series published by Innovation Comics. In the original Dark Shadows television series, the roles of Julia Hoffman and Natalie DuPres were played by Grayson Hall. Barbara's take on the character was very similar to the Grayson portrayal in many areas. An important distinction however, was that Steele spoke with a British accent.
