BELA LUGOSI
20 October 1882 – 16 August 1956),
Hungarian-American actor famous for portraying Count Dracula
in the 1931 film and for his roles in various other horror films.
He had been playing small parts on the stage in his native Hungary
before making his first film in 1917, but had to leave the country
In 1927, he appeared as Count Dracula in a Broadway adaptation of Bram Stoker's novel. He later appeared in the classic 1931 film Dracula by Universal Pictures.
Through the 1930s, he occupied an important niche in popular horror films,
with their East European setting, but his Hungarian accent limited his repertoire,
and he tried unsuccessfully to avoid typecasting.
Meanwhile, he was often paired with Boris Karloff, who was able to demand top billing.
To his frustration, Lugosi, a charter member of the American Screen Actors Guild, was increasingly restricted to minor parts, kept employed by the studio principally in order that they could put his name on the posters. Among his pairings with Karloff, he performed major roles only in The Black Cat (1934), The Raven (1935), and Son of Frankenstein (1939); even in The Raven, Karloff received top billing
despite Lugosi performing the lead role.
despite Lugosi performing the lead role.
By this time, Lugosi had been receiving regular medication for sciatic neuritis, and he became addicted to morphine and methadone. This drug dependence was noted by producers, and the offers eventually dwindled to a few parts in Ed Wood's low-budget movies—most notably Plan 9 from Outer Space.
Lugosi, who was married five times and had one son, Bela George Lugosi,
died of a heart attack on August 16, 1956.
