Vampira-Rest In Peace
Another great (yet somewhat under the radar) Hollywood legend has left us. Maila Nurmi, better known to film fans as “Vampira” passed away on January 10th 2008 at the age of 86. The character of “Vampira” appeared in numerous flms including the Ed Wood classic PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. She also appeared on television and inspired countless other horror hosts including “Elvira”. You can read more about her at the following links: LAist, Brian Albright’s article at Pussycat Magazine and the MySpace page for Coffin Case. What I really admire about “Vampira” and Johnny Grant is that they both carved out their own path. Their lives and careers didn’t follow a conventional arc. They were larger than life. They were both true originals and will be missed.
