Countess Elisabeth Bathory Nadasdy

Countess Elisabeth Bathory Nadasdy  (1560-1614)  was a real life Hungarian  aristocrat  who was accused of murdering young virginal girls to bathe in their blood and thus rejuvenate her own beauty.  In heavily fictionalized Countess Dracula (1970),  she was played by Ingrid Pitt as both old woman (in make-up) and young, rejuvenated beauty.
