Bela Lugosi was the stage name of actor Blaskó Béla Ferenc Dezső. He was born in Lugos, Transylvania, Austria-Hungary, the youngest of four children of a banker. Lugosi started his acting career on the stage in Europe in several Shakespearean plays. He however, became most notably known for his portrayal of Dracula in a stage production of Bram Stoker s classic vampire story. During World War I he served as an infantry lieutenant for the Central Powers. He left from his native Hungary for Germany in 1919 after persecution following his complicity in the forming of an actors union & emigrated to the United States in 1921. He was most famous for his title role in Tod Browning s Dracula. The film was a success, but Lugosi was typecast as a horror heavy with such movies as White Zombie & Scared to Death. He declined an offer to appear as The Monster in Frankenstein but made an impression as the insane Ygor in two sequels, Son of Frankenstein & Ghost of Frankenstein before finally consenting to play the creature in Frankenstein Meets the Wolf Man.
