Béla Ferenc Dezső Blaskó , world-renowned by his stage name , is most famous for his iconic portrayal of Count Dracula in the 1931 horror classic Dracula . Beyond his signature role, one of the most interesting and "fitting" features of his life is that he was buried in his full Dracula costume , including the famous long black cape, following his death in 1956.
While many believe he requested this himself, his son and wife actually made the decision, believing it was what he would have wanted as the character had become inseparable from his identity. Notable Features & Trivia
