Bela Lugosi was a Hungarian-American actor, born in Lugos in what is now Romania, forever identified with the role of the vampire count in 'Dracula' (1931). His hypnotic accent, courtly menace and piercing gaze defined the screen vampire for generations. A pillar of Universal's horror cycle, he appeared in 'White Zombie' (1932), 'The Black Cat' (1934) and 'Son of Frankenstein' (1939), as the broken-necked Ygor. Typecast and beset by hardship in his later years, he remains one of cinema's most imitated and enduring horror icons.
