Horror actress, 72, known for her racy role looks unrecognisable with natural ginger hair and subtle make-up – but can YOU guess who it is?

A famous horror icon known for his very spicy role looked completely unrecognizable with her natural reddish brown hair and subtle make-up.

The American actress appeared at the premiere of The First Omen on Tuesday looking completely different from the iconic character she played.

The Kansas-born star, 72, rose to fame for her portrayal of a sexy and eccentric host in a hit 1988 comedy horror film.

But can you guess who it is?

It is Cassandra Peterson who famously starred as the iconic Elvira, Mistress of the Dark.

The screen legend looked ageless as he posed on the red carpet in Los Angeles on Thursday.

Cassandra proved she hasn’t aged a day as she boosted her gorgeous natural looks with some very subtle makeup and rocked her natural locks.

Opting for a simple black long-sleeved top and a matching maxi skirt with boots, the star oozed glow as she posed with a hand on her waist.

She wore maxi earrings and flashed a big smile as she dazzled in the spotlight.

Cassandra rose to fame when she first starred in the 1988 film, in which Elvira – known for her brash attitude and sexy looks – tests a Puritan community when she arrives in town to claim her inheritance.

She also later starred in the iconic 1993 sitcom The Elvira Show, where her character moved to Manhattan, Kansas, with her crazy Aunt Minerva and their talking cat, while working as a fortune teller and selling love potions.

The iconic witch quickly became a fan favorite and returned to screens in 2001 in Elvira’s Haunted Hills.

Elvira, who is told to bring scary movies to life while providing “sarcastic, campy commentary,” also appears in the 2010 series Elvira’s Movie Macabre, which spans five seasons.

The eccentric Mistress of the Dark returned for 13 Night Of Elvira in 2014, where she takes films like Puppet Master, Cannibal Women in the Avocado Jungle of Death and Evil Bong and skewers them in the sexy, creepy way she does only she can,” the synopsis reads.

Cassandra donned her black wig and once again donned her plunging black dress for Elvira’s 40th birthday celebration, Very Scary, Very Special, Special – a 2021 TV miniseries celebrating her legendary role.

The horror alum previously revealed that she has been in a relationship with her assistant for 20 years.

The performer opened up about her personal life in the pages of her memoir, Yours Cruelly, Elvira, which was published in 2021.

Although the horror host had never dated women before, something clicked when she and Wierson met at a Gold’s Gym in Hollywood decades ago.

In an excerpt from The lawyershe recalled that “when I was doing my pre-workout warm-up on the treadmill, I couldn’t help but notice a particular trainer…walking across the gym floor, the knit hat so low pulled over his long brown hair almost covering him. his eyes.’

The TV star spared no details when describing the first impression her now partner made on everyone in the fitness center.

“Dark and brooding, he radiated such intense energy that as he crossed the enormous gymnasium floor, the water parted and people stopped to stare,” she wrote.

However, the two later met in one of the training center’s restrooms, where the actress realized that her “bad boy” was actually a “bad girl.”

The actress was married at the time to signer and manager Mark Pierson, whom she married in 1981 and shares a daughter named Sadie.

When their relationship ended in 2003, it was Teresa who comforted Cassandra.

Things turned romantic after Teresa – who the star affectionately calls ‘T’ – split with her own partner.

“There on the sidewalk was my trainer, T, holding a garbage bag full of stuff, looking sad and disheveled.

“She had separated from her long-time partner, had spent some time in rehab and now had nowhere to go,” Cassandra recalled.

They moved in together when things started to get romantic.

Cassandra noticed her urge to kiss T and said she was “surprised.”

‘What the hell was I doing? I had never been interested in women as anything other than friends. “I was amazed that I had been friends with her for so many years and never noticed our chemistry,” she said.

Although they found love, the actress said they decided to keep their relationship private to protect the Elvira brand, which has a huge male fan base.

‘Can my fans hate me because I’m not who they expected me to be?

“I’m very aware that there will be people who will be disappointed and maybe even angry, but… at this point in my life I have to be honest about who I am,” she said.

Teresa has been Cassandra’s assistant ever since, and the actress noted that she couldn’t be happier regarding her love life.

“For the first time in my life, I am with someone who makes me feel safe, blessed, and truly loved,” she wrote in the memoir.
