Carla Laemmle is the niece of Carl Laemmle, who was the head of Universal Studios from 1915 through 1936. As such, she grew up on the studio lot and had bit roles in a number of Universal's films including 1931's Dracula in which she spoke the first line of dialog in the movie. At 99 years of age she wrote this children's book about the Universal Clasc Monsters and I was able to pick up a copy.
