Cassandra Peterson| 70 Years Old

If Peter Parker is Spiderman, Cassandra Peterson’s “made-up name” is Elvira, Mistress of the Dark. This is the character that she has been known for the longest time while hosting the TV program Elvira’s Movie Macabre. However, the producers and the network were met with resistance from the lawyers of Maila Nurmi, the first host for the said show. They were eventually able to solve their differences.

Aside from her Elvira character, Peterson also appeared in many other movies like Pee-wee’s Big Adventure and Allan Quatermain and the Lost City of Gold. Just recently, the actress released a memoir where she revealed that she had been in a relationship with a woman for nearly twenty years. She was previously married to Mark Pierson, but they parted ways in 2002. Peterson also maintains a semi-vegetarian diet, something she has done for a number of years now.
