Vampira (aka Maila Nurmi) was a popular TV horror movie hostess in the 50s.
Filmmaker Ed Wood persuaded her to appear in his magnum opus, "Plan 9 From Outer Space."
She plays "Vampire Girl", an undead woman resurrected by space aliens.
Also in the cast are Swedish wrestler Tor Johnson...
...and a stand-in for the late Bela Lugosi.
The film didn't do much for Vampira's career at the time.
But bad movie fans would rediscover it decades later...
...and elevate it to the status of a revered classic.
Maila Nurmi (Vampira) 1922-2008
