CASSANDRA Peterson is known as an American actress, writer and singer.
Most recently, the Elvira star made headlines after revealing she has been in a relationship with a woman for the past 19 years.
Born September 17, 1951, Peterson, 70, starting acting in the early ’70s and has been nonstop ever since.
She is most famously known for her Elvira character and has portrayed her in multiple productions over the years.
Thanks to her successful career, Peterson has been able to accumulate an estimated worth of $3 million according to Celebrity Net Worth.
Most recently, Peterson was heard in Shoplifters of the World and Happy Halloween, Scooby-Doo!.
She also published her memoir, Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark
Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark was published in September of 2021 and reveals her full story, filled with intimate bombshells.
Among those bombshells was a secret relationship that Peterson has been in for nearly two decades.
In the book, Peterson reveals that she has been in a relationship with Teresa Wierson after meeting at Gold’s Gym in Hollywood.
“Often, when I was doing my preworkout warm-up on the treadmill, I couldn’t help noticing one particular trainer — tan, tattooed, and muscular — stalking across the gym floor, knit cap pulled so low over his long brown hair that it nearly covered his eyes,” Peterson wrote.
“Dark and brooding, he gave off such intense energy that when he crossed the enormous gym floor, the waters parted and people stopped in their tracks to stare.”
Prior to her relationship with Wierson, she was married to producer Mark Pierson from 1981 to 2003.
Entertainment Weekly reported that Wierson ended up on Peterson’s doorstep after breaking up with her then-parter because she had “no place to go.”
Peterson went on to write that their relationship changed after going to a movie one night.
“I told her goodnight and suddenly felt compelled to kiss her — on the mouth.
“I think I was even more surprised,” Peterson wrote. “What the hell was I doing? I’d never been interested in women as anything other than friends. I felt so confused. This just wasn’t me! I was stunned that I’d been friends with her for so many years and never noticed our chemistry. I soon discovered that we connected sexually in a way I’d never experienced.”
Peterson has publicly come out and described her sexuality as fluid and told The Orange County Register that she is still attracted to men.
Peterson’s Elvira character, also referred to as Mistress of the Dark, gained popularity on the Los Angeles television station KHJ-TV.
Since then, there have been multiple Elvira productions including:
Over the years, Elvira has also been seen in Scooby-Doo: Return to Zombie Island, RuPaul: Responsitrannity, The Scream, The Girls Next Door, Space Ghost Coast to Coast and more.
