Dana Gould Interviews Vampira (Maila Nurmi)
A segment of The Big Scary Movie Show on the Sci-Fi Network

Lovely to see Maila being treated as the lady she deserved. It was great to hear her talk about Bela Lugosi. Bela and Maila were 2 stars that didn't get the recognition they deserved in life.

I love how Dana spent time with her until the day she died, that is so touching. Scrambled Eggs, black coffee indeed!

[@MegaLaurabailey]

Thank you so much for putting this up. Maila Nurmi was a wonderful and classy woman. Her description of Bela Lugosi was wonderful.

[@MegaHorror2]

Bela and Maila are two horror legends who are just as great today as they were back during the peak of their popularity. I am proud to be a fan of both of them.

[@MIDNIGHTFREAKSHOW]

Dana Gould is one of the greatest hosting 2 everlasting legends VAMPIRA & BELA when I saw this video On my recommendations it was as if Christmas has come early! Thank you!

[@Sarah-gf9ed]

They certainly are! Love them both 💕 ❤️ 💗

She is so fascinating I could hear her talk all month. Pissed at Hollywood and how the system treated her. She should have had the comeback she deserved!

[@philomalley1510]

She's articulate and fun. Sad that her career didn't extend into other ventures. Her lower teeth look painful but she was still attractive. Vampira, her character, influences female vampires to this day. Ed Wood...how cool 🦇

Manila is one of my favorite actress on EARTH!!..R.I.P Vampira!! ❤️

[@Sarah-gf9ed]

This freaking awesome!!!!!!!!!

[@525Lines]

Your appearance on Gilbert's podcast was excellent.

[@itiswhatitis8772]

I don't think she got the recognition she desirves. She was always a struggling actress until she died. Shame cause I would have liked 2 have seen her in more scary movies. Ah well that's show business

[@kellybrown8638]

She was lovely even in later live

Exactly. You're so. Perceptive 👍

Nah, he was actually good friends with her and was one of her caretakers towards the end.

Oh behave.

[@lafamiliahernandez3015]

Do we know who stole her memorabilia from her family yet? I know there is supposed to be a book, The Vampira Diaries coming out... but it was promised in print in fall 2019 with a gofundme raising almost $21,000..then a release in early 2021..seems like the project is having trouble. Is there any more reliable information on any of these topics? I'd like to buy Vampira merch ethically for once..meaning, in the name of (in)human decency, her FAMILY should profit. 🦇

[@leticialopez9555]

Her niece Sandra Niemi published a book with Maila Nurmi's diary entries. The book is titled Glamour Ghoul, and it offers new information about Malia's personal life and career as Vampira, her relationship with James Dean, Marlon Brandon, and more. It's a great and interesting book!

[@TheChapel-ee4yh]

Sandra knows who stole her memorabilia. Jonny Coffin owns it all now....the family doesn't profit from any of it.

[@rickylee93274]

@@leticialopez9555 I have that book! last year I went to Hollywood Forever Cemetery and visited her grave.
