He was born B?la Ferenc Dezso Blasko on October 20, 1882, in
Hungary. He joined Budapest's National Theater in 1913 and later
appeared in several Hungarian films under the pseudonym Arisztid
Olt. After World War I, he helped the Communist regime nationalize
Hungary's film industry, but barely escaped arrest when the
government was deposed, fleeing to the United States in 1920. As he
became a star in American horror films in the 1930s and 1940s,
publicists and fan magazines crafted outlandish stories to create a
new history for Lugosi. The cinema's Dracula was transformed into
one of Hollywood's most mysterious actors. This exhaustive account
of Lugosi's work in film, radio, theater, vaudeville and television
provides an extensive biographical look at the actor. The enormous
merchandising industry built around him is also examined.
