Born 28th October, 1902. One of my all time favourite actors, certainly best known as The Bride - and I liked her being included as a character in "Gods and Monsters", but my personal favourite role of hers was Queenie in "Bell, Book and Candle". I have recently re-read her autobiography "Elsa Lanchester - Herself" and am currently reading Simon Callow's "Charles Laughton, a Difficult Actor", which can't help but refer to Elsa occasionally. Elsa also had an extensive repertoire of eccentric/bawdy songs. She was a fascinating person and one of my style icons. Happy Birthday Elsa!
