On this day 70 years ago (2 February 1956), wildly scurrilous scandal rag Whisper ran a lurid cover story exposé accusing television horror movie hostess #Vampira (aka #MailaNurmi) of casting a voodoo hex on #JamesDean and causing his fatal 1955 car crash! Scan via The Drunken Severed Head blog.
+++ Tonight we remember Maila Nurmi aka 'VAMPIRA' who passed over to the dark side, on this day, the 10th of January 2008. +++
So let's all raise a glass of something red to celebrate the life of a truly beautiful and talented human being.

Even when she didn’t look like Vampira, Maila Nurmi stood out.
She was credited as VAMPIRA and not Maila Nurmi when she played an avant-garde poet (“The Poetess”) in 1959’s THE BEAT GENERATION.🦇
