Edina Hamilton (The Uncanny)

Edina Hamilton (Samantha Eggar) is the evil co-protagonist of the third tale from the 1977 horror-comedy anthology film "The Uncanny".
Taking place in Hollywood in 1936, the story begins with protagonist Valentine De'ath and his wife Madeline acting in a scene for a horror movie that is being filmed. Unfortunately for the latter, the fake pendulum blade that was meant to swing above her turns out to be real. It manages to slice through her belly and she is killed. The authorities chalk the incident up to a mix up by the prop department and Valentine is free of any further suspicion. He then succeeds in bringing Edina, Madeline's understudy, onto the project to replace his wife's role, as she is similar in appearance. In truth, the death was planned and executed by Valentine so that he could get with Edina, his mistress. 
Valentine: Poor Madeline. It was her big scene, and she went all to pieces.
Edina: Mm, now she's just a bit player! 
Edina quickly moves in with Valentine and is just as happy and free of remorse about the murder as he is. One night, the two are alerted to the sound of Scat, Madeline's cat, having given birth to kittens. Valentine drowns the kittens his toilet and then states that he plans to deal with the mother next. Scat takes vengeful action by tearing up the evil couple's bed with her claws and even follows them to the movie set where she causes a light to fall by chewing through the rope which suspends it. 
Edina finally meets her end while rehearsing a scene in which she is to be impaled by the spikes of an iron maiden. While Valentine holds the rope with controls the hinge of the torture device's front, he is attacked by Scat which causes him to let go, and Edina is pierced by the spikes for real.
