[earthspirits]

Wanted to add two more compelling Draculas as portrayed by the wonderful Jeremy Brett and Raul Julia. Both men were handsome, extremely talented and charismatic, with gorgeous voices. They starred in the stage play and I wish I could have seen their performances. Costume wise, they wore elegant Victorian era evening attire, with dramatic flared collars on their capes.
