CASSANDRA PETERSON

Do you remember Elvira, Mistress of the Dark? We bet you will never know that the woman behind this famous horror hostess character is Cassandra Peterson! Without the degree of heavy makeup on her face, it’s pretty shocking, isn’t it? The now-69-year-old star gained recognition when she started donning revealing, dark, and gothic clothes as the host of the weekly B movie presentation Elvira’s Movie Macabre.

Though she did other projects in the past, Cassandra will forever be known as Elvira. Some of the movies and TV she did were Pee-wee’s Big Adventure in 1985, as well as Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold. Her latest appearance is as the voice of Lirrak on the TV series Dota: Dragon’s Blood and in the movie Shoplifters of the World. Cassandra is still relatively young, so there is more to come to this beautiful actress in the coming years. Who knows, she may play the role of Elvira anytime soon.
