The actress who played Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, is opening up about the relief of coming out and the risks she weighed before doing it. “I’m like, ‘Am I willing to risk [the] rest of my career for coming out?’ You just don’t know what’s going to happen,” she told Out Magazine in a new interview about her new ‘Cookbook from Hell.’ “I think it’s easier for people now, although with the current political climate… pretty scary. But I hope that I set an example for younger actors.” She shared how keeping her relationship private took a toll over the years. “It’s such a relief. Keeping secrets is not a good thing. Any secret makes you feel bad, makes your partner feel bad, and it gives you gas,” she said with a laugh. Cassandra Peterson, who plays Elvira, added that while not everyone feels safe to come out, it’s important to be prepared: “There are situations where people said that they could lose their job. I understand that. Just have a back-up plan, just in case.” #Elvira #Cass...
