gwynnegaThe other day I watched the Frank Langella movie of Dracula for the first time since it came out, and it got me thinking about how I wished Langella could have starred in the 1977 BBC Count Dracula instead of Louis Jourdan (though Jourdan wasn't bad). Which got me thinking about my favorite actors in filmed versions of Dracula. (The less familiar names are either from the 1977 BBC Count Dracula or the Spanish-language 1931 Dracula.)
Dracula: Christopher Lee (runners up: Bela Lugosi, Frank Langella)
Van Helsing: Peter Cushing forever (runner up: Edward Van Sloan)
Renfield: a tie between Dwight Frye and Jack Shepherd (runner up: Pablo Alvarez Rubio)
Mina: Judi Bowker (runner up: Lupita Tovar)
Lucy: Susan Penhaligon
