Cassandra Patterson – Elvira

Cassandra Peterson is an American actress best known for her portrayal of the horror hostess character Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. She gained fame on Los Angeles television station KHJ wearing a black, gothic, revealing, cleavage-enhancing gown as host of Movie Macabre, a weekly horror movie presentation. Her wickedly vampire appearance is offset by her comical character, quirky and quick-witted personality, and Valley girl-type speech.
