Horror Legend Ashley Laurence Poem by Paula Glynn

Horror legend Ashley Laurence still here to this day
Starring in Hellraiser horror films that do endure and stay
Making the audience want to be saved from hell and quietly pray
The first terrifying Hellraiser in 1987
A horror film far from an angel's heaven
Following with Hellraiser II Hellbound
Another film where the audience does scream.

Acting Ashley Laurence's ultimate dream
Starring in TV shows from the year 1984
Her character Brenda Clegg in TV soap opera Capitol
Opening the television and film acting door
Ashley Laurence skilled with playing different characters
Starring in Highway to Heaven as Genna in 1986
In her build-up to her successful year of 1987.

Ashley Laurence stating she had a crush on a boy
Attending a teenage drama workshop in 1986
Where New World Pictures were looking for someone to employ
To play Kirsty Cotton: a role Ashley was never forgotten
Ashley flown to England by Clive Barker
Ashley the right horror actress he was after to tell a tale
To star in Hellraiser: grossing over $14 million dollars in ticket sales.

Ashley doing an outstanding job in Hellraiser II Hellbound
Her character depressingly residing in a psychiatric hospital
Telling her tale of horror: but with more horror to visit
More horror to endure yet Kirsty Cotton does deplore
All the evil that came knocking on her door
Ashley Laurence bringing a charismatic character to life
Ashley Laurence to be Kirsty who does endure and thrive.

Creating skilled oil paintings: next to creating emotional layers

Character to character that is continuously changing
From Lightning Bug to Warlock III The End Of Innocence
To Suddenly Susan, Hercules: The Legendary Journeys
To ER and an episode of Beyond Belief Fact or Fiction.

Years of work ranging from 1984 to 2000 onwards

And with great beauty she is blessed

Where Ashley proves she is an unstoppable success.
