Elvira, Mistress of the Dark says “Who, me?”

Elvira, Mistress of the Dark -- the alter ego of performer Cassandra Peterson -- strikes an innocent pose at the Fox Reality Channel Really Awards on October 2, 2007. The awards -- said to be "the only awards show honoring reality TV" -- were held in Los Angeles, California. The Elvira character is known for her cheerful, spoofy and always-buxom take on horror-movie tropes. Cassandra Peterson was born in 1951, so she turned 56 the year this photo was taken.
