Fact 92: Gloria Stuart, Valerie Hobson, and Evelyn Ankers were three of Universal’s most famous “scream queens.”
Gloria Stuart acted opposite Boris Karloff in The Old Dark House and opposite Claude Rains in The Invisible Man. Years later, she made a comeback in Hollywood by playing the 100-year-old Rose in Titanic.
Valerie Hobson was the wife of Henry Hull in Werewolf of London and Baroness Frankenstein in The Bride of Frankenstein.
Evelyn Ankers was known as “the queen of screamers.” She played opposite of Lon Chaney Jr. in The Wolf Man, and also appeared in Ghost of Frankenstein, Captive Wild Woman, Son of Dracula, The Mad Ghoul, Weird Woman, Jungle Woman, The Invisible Man’s Revenge, and The Frozen Ghost, along with many other non-horror Universal movies.
