Bela Lugosi: Film & TV List



He was one of the greatest and legendary stars of horror film history. Suave, debonair, and always the gentleman to his adoring public, Bela Lugosi was the boogeyman of many erotic nightmares with his most famous role and definitive portrayal of Count Dracula. However, Lugosi first began his acting career on the stage, appearing in nearly two hundred productions that would make just about any actor today quite envious. His early efforts as a film actor began in his native homeland of Hungry from 1917-1918, before continuing his career in Germany from 1919-1922. Ultimately, Lugosi made the United States his permanent home where he reached true stardom, becoming one of the most recognizable faces in Hollywood. From 1923 up until his death in 1956, Lugosi played everything from secret agents, mad doctors, villainous butlers, dashing vampires, and grotesque beings. The following is a list that spans Lugosi's entire film career and television appearances by year.
