Bela Lugosi

Actor

Béla Ferenc Dezső Blaskó, known professionally as Bela Lugosi, was a Hungarian-American actor. After a distinguished stage career in his native Hungary, he immigrated to the United States and found iconic fame in the title role of the 1931 film Dracula. This legendary performance, however, led to severe typecasting that he struggled to escape for the remainder of his career. Despite professional difficulties and personal struggles, Lugosi's portrayal of Dracula remains the definitive version and has cemented his status as a foundational figure of horror cinema.
