Holy moly! This is RARE. Before Laserdisc, there was Discovision. This is a shrink-wrapped 1978 video disc of Bride of Frankenstein (transferred from an original 1935 nitrate print, according to . I can't play it, but it would be a lovely thing to own.

Hie thee over to eBay folks if you want to get your hands on this signed Turnabout Theatre program. They don't turn up all that often and I've never seen an autographed one before.

Huge thanks to @StevenMcBrien for finding this fantastic two-minute clip of Elsa at home in 1951. There's no indication of where this footage originates from, but it's terrific!

Elsa played different characters in two episodes of a show unlikely to be repeated, The Bill Cosby Show. 'The Elevator Doesn't Stop Here Any More' (with Henry Fonda!) is a terrific half-hour of character comedy, but 'The Power of a Tree' is kind of weak and silly.

Elsa on a Mexican lobby card for the 1967 Elvis picture Easy Come, Easy Go. It is not one of The King's finest moments.

'My Dog. the Thief' is a pretty terrible 1969 Disney film that was made for TV in America but was released theatrically in Europe, and Japan evidently.
