Date of Birth:

Sep 17, 1951

Place of Birth:

Manhattan, Kansas, USA

Cassandra Peterson is an American actress best known for her on-screen horror hostess character Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.

Her wickedly vampish appearance is offset by her comical character, quirky/quick-witted personality, and valley girl-type speech.
