Cassandra Peterson – 71 Years Old
You may know her as Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, but she’s actually a Kansas native who goes by the name of Cassandra Peterson. An American actress/writer/singer, Peterson became famous for hosting the B-movie presentation show Elvira’s Movie Macabre, which ran successfully for five years in the mid-’80s.
Peterson still makes occasional appearances as Elvira, but she’s also expanded her acting portfolio to include several non-macabre roles. The latest came earlier this year, as Peterson appeared in the movie Shoplifters of the World and the animated series Dota: Dragon’s Blood.
