Being Known As 'The Bride Of Frankenstein' Is An Unusual Form Of Fame, But For Elsa Lanchester The Unusual Came Naturally. Born To Radical Socialist Parents Who Made Civil Disobedience A Way Of Life, Elsa Attended A Summerhilllike Allboys School And Later 'Studied' In Paris With Isadora Duncan. She Returned To London At Age Thirteen To Dance And Give Lessons In The New Style. At Seventeen, She Opened Her Own Theater. The Cave Of Harmony, Which Was Frequented By People Such As H. G. Wells, Aldous Huxley, And Evelyn Waugh. She Began Performing With And Then Fell In Love With An Upandcoming Young Actor Named Charles Laughton. Soon After Their Marriage He Revealed His Homosexuality. Though It Made Their Union Shaky At Times, It Did Not Overshadow Their Common Love Of Art, Music, And Nature, And Their Marriage Endured For Thirtysix Years Until Laughtons Death. Elsa And Charles Were Paired In Many Plays, Including Peter Pan And The Tempest. They Began To Appear In Films And Soon Hollywood Beckoned. After Making Two Films For Mgm, Elsa Was Loaned To Universal Studios In 1935 For The Role That Would Win Her The Most Enduring The Bride Of Frankenstein. Elsa Lanchester, Herself Presents The Story Of A Woman Ahead Of Her Independent, Iconoclastic, Liberated. It Is The Chronicle Of A Life Filled With Famous People From Bertolt Brecht To Henry Fonda, And Of A Career That Spanned Almost Seven Decades, Encompassing Stage, Screen, Television, Nightclubs, Recordings, And Books. It Is Also A Warm, Truthful Account Of A Very Special Marriage. Witty And Wise, Elsa Lanchesters Account Of Her Life And Times Is A Delight.
