Finnish-American actress Maila Nurmi was born 100 years ago today! (She died in 2008.) Nurmi portrayed the character Vampira on 1950s TV and later, and in Ed Wood's 1959 film, "Plan 9 from Outer Space." Later, the character Elvira was developed on TV and film as a kind of Vampira, with Cassandra Peterson in that role.
