she & laughton had, by all accounts, a stable (if not passionate) union from 1929 until laughton’s death in 1962. it didn’t produce any offspring. elsa didn’t want children - although her autobiography alleges there was no progeny because charles was homosexual. i guess elsa learned well from her mum.

initially a dance student under the tutelage of isadora duncan, elsa made her film debut in 1925’s ‘the scarlet woman’. HG wells wrote THREE silent film shorts just for her in the late 1920s & by the early thirties, she’d joined her actor husband, charles laughton, in hollywood, where she made numerous telly appearances & acted in over 70 films. her last was role was sophie in1980’s ‘die laughing’, just six years before her death.

if shelley duvall & sigourney weaver had together conceived a child who was old enough to be their mum (what?), she’d be this stunner right here. as it stands, her life story’s compelling enough.
elsa lanchester was born to bohemian parents who refused - as a big FU to society - to be legally married. her mum, edith ‘biddy’ lanchester, was a feminist & a socialist who later worked as secretary to eleanor marx (daughter of the famous karl, who’s pissing people off even today).

#art #history: every 28th october, i use elsa lanchester (born #otd in 1902) as an excuse to pay homage to mary wollstonecraft shelley's masterpiece, 'frankenstein'. mind you, elsa was pretty cool, herself. difficult not to be when you're the daughter of a suffragette who was also secretary to eleanor marx.
i've got more to say about elsa in the response posts below, so read or ignore as you wish.

Close, but not quite. I tried & tried, and now hate Elsa Lanchester's absolutely AMAZING face a teensy bit. It is *really* unique & hard to draw! I guess next time I should do the graph method or something more technical/exact, instead of freehand like I do.
