    Peterson was born in Manhattan, Kansas on September 17, 1951. Her family later moved to Colorado Springs, Colorado. From a young age, she found herself drawn to horror-themed toys, rather than the Barbie dolls that most girls played with. The theatrical, larger-than-life quality of horror appealed to her. That attraction to the theatrical was likel...

    When she was a toddler, a very frightening accident befell Peterson, one that left her permanently disfigured. The two-year-old climbed up on a chair to reach the stove, pulling over a pot of boiling water that her mother was using to cook Easter eggs. She suffered third-degree burns on roughly thirty-five percent of her body, with the most severe ...

    For a brief time, Peterson dated no less than the King of Rock-and-Roll himself, Elvis Presley. Their relationship was short-lived, but he played an important role in her future, offering her some advice that would shape the course of her career. At the time, she was working as a showgirl at The Dunes in Las Vegas. That's where she met Presley and ...

    It was the early 1970s. Peterson found herself in Italy, pursuing a career as a singer (as suggested by Presley) and fronting a rock band called I Latins Ochanats and the Snails. While the music thing didn't exactly work out the way she hoped it would, her time in Italy paid off after a random encounter with one of her favorite filmmakers, the worl...

    Tom Waits is a legendary singer-songwriter whose career has been thriving for more than forty years.

In 1976, Waits released an album called Small Change. The cover fe...

    Elvis was not the only famous person with whom Cassandra Peterson was romantically involved. In a 2008 Blender interview, she revealed that she lost her virginity to Tom Jones, the Welsh singer best known for the hits "It's Not Unusual", "What's New Pussycat", and, later, his cover of Prince's "Kiss". (Jones is also famous for being such a sex symb...

    Elvira was big in L.A. as the host of Movie Macabre,but it was the Coors beer company that helped springboard her to national fame. In the 1980s, Coors decided to dub itself "the Official Beer of Halloween." They signed Elvira up to do a series of commercials, then placed cardboard cutouts of her in liquor stores and beer distributors across the co...

    Befitting for such an exaggerated character, Elvira eventually spawned her own line of comic books. In the '80s, DC published a series called Elvira's House of Mystery that lasted for eleven issues, followed by a special. It was a spinoff of an already existing title. Later, Claypool assumed control of the series, re-dubbing it Elvira: Mistress of ...

    Considering that Elvira has such an overtly sexy image, it's not a surprise that Hugh Hefner and Playboy came calling. And since Peterson had done nudity as a showgirl and as a High Society model in the '70s, it wasn't a stretch to think that she might happily pose for the magazine in the guise of her famous alter-ego. However, she turned Hef down,...

    One of the reasons why Elvira has been so popular for so long is that Cassandra Peterson is a very smart businesswoman. Over the years, Elvira has had dozens of pieces of licensed merchandise.
