Happy birthday, Mrs. Frankenstein!




Elsa Lanchester, born October 28, 1902, was best known for her portrayal of the bride of Frankenstein.  She went on to star in "Mary Poppins", one of the most beloved movies of all time and got a Supporting Actress Golden Globe award for "Witness for the Prosecution", based on the work by Agatha Christie.  Ironically, she spoofed Christie's sleuth Jane Marple in "Murder by Death" with her role as Jessica Marbles.  This talented and versatile actress died in December 1986.
