Carla Laemmle, who had small parts in 1925's Phantom of the Opera with Lon Chaney,Sr., and 1931's Dracula with Bela Lugosi,signed 2 index cards in 106 days. Miss Laemmle turned 100 years old on October 20, 2009. Her uncle, Carl, was also head of Universal Studios at that time. She played a ballerina in Phantom and in Dracula she got to say the first lines of the film as a stage coach passenger speaking to Renfield on the way to Dracula's castle.She is the last surviving cast member of both films.A great thanks to Miss Laemmle.
