"Vampira" Maila Nurmi: 1921-2008

Maila Nurmi, the actress who created the iconic TV horror hostess Vampira, has died.

In addition to her legendary late night television appearances in the 1950's, Vampira co-starred (as "Vampire Girl") in what is now known as the worst movie ever made, Ed Wood's Plan 9 from Outer Space.

Other film appearances included such trash classics as I Passed for White, Sex Kittens Go to College and I Woke Up Early the Day I Died.
