Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark by Cassandra Petersen
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, Queen of Halloween, reveals all in this entertaining autobiography. From her childhood in Kansas to being a showgirl in Las Vegas to comedienne, and finally to late-night hostess of vintage horror films, we travel with Elvira as she meets iconic celebrities, works at comedy clubs, and creates her now-famous image.
Scarred as a toddler by burns, Elvira shows us that whether scars are physical or emotional (and she had both), they can be a blessing or a curse. At 70 years old, she still looks great and enjoys what she does, and has at long last found real love.
Fun, heartbreaking, honest and shocking, this is Elvira at her campy best. Fans of celebrity bios will enjoy this honest look at a Hollywood legend.
