Voluptua Follows Vampira to the Great TV Lounge in the Sky

Few people knew Gloria Pall better in her last years than LA writer and documentary filmmaker R.H. Greene. He recorded a special Valentine’s Day 2011 tribute for KPCC’s Off-Ramp and conducted what would be her final interview for his 2012 feature documentary Vampira and Me.

Pall passed away at a Burbank hospital December 30 at age 85. Greene released a statement about Pall this past Friday and is quoted in this weekend’s LA Times obit. Pall debuted on KABC-TV as Voluptua December 15, 1954, eight months after Maila Nurmi‘s Vampira character on the same station.
