Elvira, Mistress of the Dark does her thing

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark (played by Cassandra Peterson) strikes a classic Elvira pose at the 14th annual Dream Halloween charity night. The event was held at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California on October 27, 2007. Her cheerfully wide-eyed and wide-bosomed attitude made Elvira a popular TV figure in the 1980s and beyond. Cassandra Peterson was born in 1951, so she turned 56 the year this photo was taken.
