“My friend, can your heart stand the shocking facts about grave robbers from outer space? Can you handle unspeakable horrors from outer space paralyzing the living and resurrecting the dead?”

64 years ago today (22 July 1959), gloriously inept and twisted b-movie visionary Ed Wood Jr unleashed his much-ridiculed el cheapo sci fi horror thriller Plan 9 from Outer Space (original title: Grave Robbers from Outer Space) – frequently derided as the worst film ever made – on an unsuspecting and mostly oblivious public. Pictured: cadaverous glamour ghoul Vampira (aka Maila Nurmi) and hulking Swedish wrestler Tor Johnson.

“There are artists in various fields whose fame rests solely on how bad their work is alleged to be. Among them are the poet William McGonagall, the novelist Amanda McKittrick Ros, the soprano Florence Foster Jenkins and the film director Ed Wood. The latter's reputation as the world's worst filmmaker rubbed off on Dolores Fuller, his muse, lover and leading lady … It would be unfair to pick on Fuller for her stiff posture and stilted delivery in Wood's movies when the others in the casts were equally awkward, mainly because of the minimum amount of takes and the lack of strong direction. The "peak" of Wood and Fuller's collaboration was the camp classic Glen or Glenda (aka I Led Two Lives, 1953), an unintentionally hilarious, well-meaning film on transvestism … Wood plays the title role, while the blonde Fuller is his fiancee, described by the narrator as "a lovely, intelligent girl". She says things such as, "Here we are, two perfectly normal people about to be married and lead a normal life together!" not long before finding out that her husband-to-be is lusting to wear her white angora sweater. On being told as much, Fuller over-emotes before taking off the sweater and handing it to him.”

/ From The Guardian’s obituary for Dolores Fuller /

Born on this day 100 years ago: actress Dolores Fuller (10 March 1923 - 9 May 2011), whose collaborations with her erstwhile boyfriend, no-budget auteur Edward D Wood Jr, ensure her status as a cult movie icon. (She’s portrayed by Sarah Jessica Parker in the 1994 biopic Ed Wood - the sole Tim Burton – Johnny Depp film I can tolerate). After her association with Wood ended, the admirably durable Fuller reinvented herself as a successful songwriter, most notably for Elvis Presley movies (she co-wrote absolute bangers like “Rock-A-Hula Baby”, “I Got Lucky” and “Do the Clam”). Pictured: Fuller in her angora-sweatered glory in the early fifties.
