Happy Birthday, Elsa Lanchester



Happy Birthday, Elsa.  

Today marks Lanchester's 124th birthday.

Thanks to Elsa for marrying Laughton and giving hope to dumpy dudes who hope their sparkling personalities will make up for everything else.

    I thought about asking "hey have you seen Mystery Street" but checked, and yup! And the proper love of Elsa was rightfully bestowed.

    Gawd, she was great! Plus, so gorgeous in an off-kilter way (which is the best kind of gorgeous). Laughton really did luck out with her... but she was rightfully ticked that he didn't mention the gay thing, which he SHOULD have been more up-front about. It seems they really did love each other, which is wonderful. I'm a giant fan of both.

      If you haven't got to it yet: The Big Clock. She's in a walk on part and steals the movie in a scene.
