None but the most diehard classic movie fans might realize that one of the most iconic Universal monsters also appeared in a Disney musical comedy. Inimitable British character actor Elsa Lanchester's most famous and signature role was that of the monster’s mate with the unforgettable electrified hairdo in Universal’s Bride of Frankenstein. Decades later, her career was rejuvenated with an unexpected turn in Walt Disney’s Mary Poppins.
What Is ‘Bride of Frankenstein’ About and Who Does Elsa Lanchester Play In It? Close Bride of Frankenstein is the 1935 sequel to the classic Universal Pictures 1931 hit Frankenstein, which launched the career of Boris Karloff and, with Dracula, started what is referred to as the classic Universal Studios monster cycle of the 1930s and 4'0s; a series of remakes, reboots, and sequels featuring the characters Frankenstein’s monster, Dracula, the Wolfman, the Mummy, and the Invisible Man.
How Did Elsa Lanchester Go From Frankenstein's Bride to ‘Mary Poppins?’ Over the next three decades, Lanchester would continue in a string of eclectic roles, including 12 performances opposite her husband, Charles Laughton. After his death in 1962, Lanchester’s career slowed for a time, only to be revitalized by her next major project, Mary Poppins, about as far away from The Bride of Frankenstein as you can get.
