WOMEN OF HORROR: GLORIA HOLDEN

A MEMBER OF THE PANTHEON FOR ONE ROLE -- THAT OF DRACULA'S DAUGHTER! 

The sequel to the very first talkie Universal Horror features Gloria Holden as the sepulchral-voiced, sad-eyed daughter of Bela Lugosi's Count Dracula:  Countess Marya Zaleska.  Her urges were overwhelming her no matter how hard she fought them.
