positive · AI labelView post →Born 29 April 1958, actress Michelle Pfeiffer. She began her acting career with minor tv & film appearances, & had her first leading role in the commercially unsuccessful Grease 2. Her breakout role as Elvira Hancock in Scarface (1983) gave her mainstream success. #MichellePfeiffer

positive · AI labelView post →When I was 10, my father took me to see Elvira, Mistress of the Dark at the movie theater, because boobs. While I loved Elvira, I was more interested in the devil dancers at the end of the movie, in her amazing Las Vegas scene. So here I am, a Satan in shiny satin, realizing my Elvira fantasies!
positive · AI labelView post →Born 17 September 1951, Cassandra Peterson is best known for her iconic character Elvira, from the show Elvira's Movie Macabre & the film Elvira: Mistress of the Dark. She made Elvira a cult figure with her Gothic appearance and her signature low-cut black dress. #Elvira #CassandraPeterson

neutral · AI labelView post →I think one of the reasons so many films today don’t hit emotionally like they should is so many films shot digitally just do NOT use film grammar well anymore. Film is a dying language. This is a close-up in a 1922 Elvira Notari film. She cuts in close so we feel this woman’s sadness viscerally.

Elvira was a GTS during a short skit for that episode, but only a low-res copy survived. I sure hope a HD version of this scene turns up someday! #giantess #Sizesky
