Maila Nurmi, aka Vampira, passed away in her sleep January 10th at age 86.
Her Vampira, the inspiration for Cassandra Petersen's "Elvira", was itself inspired by Charles Addams' Morticia.

I've never heard of her before, thanks for sharing... What a tiny waistline!
She was an icon in my upbringing, but then again, I've always maintained that my POV was a bit twisted...
I've missed her movies for a long time.
very interesting!
aw..reminds me of Yvonne de Carlo.;)
annie: Glad you liked it.
angel: Yes she does. It seemed to me that DeCarlo passed away recently, but it was back in January 2007! Gosh, time flies.
Wow, it doesn't seem that Vampira would be 86!
RIP, Lady!
I think I dated her...
brooke: Hard to believe.
mr. fab: lol. Robbing the cradle is bad enough, but robbing the grave is unthinkable ;-)
