Cassandra Peterson
FameRank: 4

"Cassandra Peterson" is an United States/American actor/actress best known for her portrayal of the horror hostess character "Elvira, Mistress of the Dark". She gained fame on Los Angeles television station KCAL-TV/KHJ wearing a black, Gothic fashion/gothic, revealing, cleavage (breasts)/cleavage-enhancing gown as host of Movie Macabre, a weekly Horror film/horror movie presentation. Her wickedly vampish appearance is offset by her comical character, quirky and quick-witted personality, and Valley girl-type speech.

There's 20 really cutting-edge, cool artists on there, so I was so thrilled to be a part of it, ... And it's a really fun song.

If I retire doing the character, I don't think the character has to retire. There will still be caricatures of Elvira. You know, Dracula still works, and he's dead.

Every year, I have to spend another hour working out. Pretty soon I'll be spending eight hours working out just to fit in the costume. I have the feeling that the minute I stop doing the character, boom, Roseanne Barr.

The great thing about being in the public eye is that you can really do something for that cause because people love and respect you.

It didn't sound that appealing and it wasn't paying much, ... They liked a character that I was doing that was sort of a Valley girl type ...They said they wanted me to do that character but come up with some sort of outfit that was spooky.

It's amazingly uncomfortable, ... Wearing it for more than a couple of hours gets to be really annoying.
