Bela Lugosi
Legendary Hungarian film star best known for the title role of Dracula (1931). He appeared in countless horror films in a career spanning five decades. He made some of his last fils for Ed Wood, including Glen or Glenda, as the Spirit; Bride of the Monster, as Dr. Eric Vornoff; and a quasiposthumous performance in Plan 9 From Outer Space, as the Ghoul Man. Wood served as Lugosi's manager in the fifties, and wrote and directed a Las Vegas nightclub review for him.
