Jan 21 08 1:37 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	I hope this is okay to post here. If not and someone can tell me where to post this that would be great.... As many of you know my dearest friend Maila Nurmi (Vampira) passed away. We are hoping her final resting place will be at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. She did not have much at the time of her passing and we want to give her a resting place befitting her and all she gave to the world. PLEASE help. Even if it is just a dollar every one counts. She was a trailblazer and a magnificent woman and deserves the dignity to lie beside the other stars of her era in the place she loved most...Hollywood. Thank you all.....this means so much to me and your support and kindness has been so touching. Love, Gabrielle

We are hoping her final resting place will be at Hollywood Forever Cemetery. Since there are several devotees of Ed Wood in these parts, it's perhaps also worth noting that Ed Wood's widow Kathy - whom Maila held in some esteem as the person who had been the real breadwinner 'chez Wood' over a period of decades - and Paul Marco are both interred at Hollywood Forever. Friends of Kathy and Paul hope to arrange screenings of "Plan 9" in the future as part of the summer season of film showings by Cinespia at the cemetery, and it seems un-think-able that Maila should miss out on her 'joyous resurrection' (a phrase by which she was clearly amused when it was used to refer to her in a German review of "I Woke Up Early The Day I Died").

Jan 22 08 12:05 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	If I may jump in here.....I don't know Gabrielle, but judging from her posts and announcements regarding her friend Ms. Nurmi, she's obviously a class act and has only the best interests at heart. We all spend a lot of time on this board discussing the people who worked in the horror film industry. These folks have given us so much pleasure and only a very few are left, some more fortunate financially than others. Right now we have the very rare opportunity to give back. Ms. Nurmi, although she may not have been the biggest star in the horror orbit, was and is certainly a horror icon. If we can all pitch in and help with her burial expenses? We have approximately 2000 members. If everyone could put off that next DVD or book purchase for a few days it would add up so very quickly. David p.s. Admin... if you see proper, please move this thread to Universal horror where it will have better exposure. Last Edited By: soundstage28 Jan 22 08 12:45 AM. Edited 2 times.

Jan 22 08 3:47 AM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	How long are we supposed to wait before we can say "his DEAD WIFE - - - - WAS WATCHING..." I just got an e from this Dana Gould with the appeal for the memorial fund, and the graphics you see above. I'm gonna chip in, and talk up 4e and others. When Valda Hansen asked me for $100 toward the surgery she needed for melanoma, I hustled up over $900 from people who loved her. She cried and almost fainted (seriously) when she opened the envelope. Though Ed Wood's world is viewed by many as lower Hollywood substrata, it was made up of some really dear people. Plan 9 screens at the Vista Theater Friday night at midnight (right next door to Ed's first production office in Hollywood), and some handouts should be printed up with the fund appeal.

Here is a link to PayPal's donate button info: https://www.paypal.com/us/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_donate-intro-outside Once it is created, the html code could be submitted to us and we could place it on the CHFB. Or Gabrielle could place it in her first post in this thread. Kerry, does this look doable? GARY L. PRANGE "Sic gorgiamus allos subjectos nunc." Check out my YouTube Video of the Week!

Jan 25 08 4:59 PM Reply Quote More My Recent Posts	Maila "Vampira" was the original Horror Movie Host. Is the originator of the Vampire Mistress look copied by Elvira, and has become a movie icon over the decades. No she didn't have the biggest and brightest star within the Hollywood cosmos but was a star just the same and from the various interviews recorded, gave the appearance of being a fun and caring person. Only a couple months ago I was thinking about getting her autograph and sigh, it is now too late. She is gone in the twinkling of an eye. How many of us here own "Plan 9" DVDs? And how many may own duplicates or obsolete versions they could sell for a buck or two? If so, do it now and donate the money towards this honorable fund. Just another idea to help. Eric Huffstutler

My husband just returned from huge tour and planning and working to get Maila's stuff organized has been a bit more work than I expected. Thank you again....for all that each of you is doing. A link, a message, a bulletin, a donation....it all makes a huge difference and I know she would be so touched. - Gabrielle
