Lugosi, the youngest of four children, was born Béla Ferenc Dezső Blaskó' in Lugos, Hungary on October 20, 1882. On arrival in America, the 6-feet-1 inch, 180 lb. Lugosi worked for some time as a laborer, then returned to the theater within the Hungarian-American community. He was approached to star in a play adapted by Hamilton Deane and John L. Balderston from Bram Stoker's novel Dracula. The Horace Liveright production was successful. Despite his excellent notices in the title role, and appearances in some American silent films, Lugosi had to campaign vigorously for the chance to repeat his stage success in Tod Browning's movie version of Dracula (1931), produced by Universal Pictures.

Almost destroyed by Bram Stoker's widow because of copyright infringement, this film has outlasted many others of the silent era. There are many new releases of Nosferatu and all this goes to show that, "You can't keep a good vampire down."
Max Schreck brilliantly plays Nosferatu, directed by Friedrich Wilhem Murnau. This is one of the best known scenes.

I think this is the best rendition of Dracula ever captured on film. Gary Oldman has to be the most talented and underrated actor ever, he becomes the character he is portraying. He draws you into his darkness and passion and guides you right through until the end. This film is just like a real Dracula movie should be.
