Elvira, Mistress of the Dark reveals sexuality, Wilt Chamberlain encounter and more
Cassandra Peterson, now 70, spent four decades building her iconic macabre persona into an international cult icon. Now, in “Yours Cruelly, Elvira: Memoirs of the Mistress of the Dark” (Hachette, out September 21) she details her trick-or-treat life in a candid memoir revealing her 19-year relationship with a woman — a female who she only identifies as ‘T’ — as well as encounters with some of the celebrity world’s biggest names — among them late basketball star Wilt Chamberlain, who she claims forced oral sex on her.“When a seven-foot-one, 300 pound man has his hand wrapped around your neck, there’s really not a lot you can do,” she writes of the athlete, who boasted in his 1991 memoir “A View from Above” that he had slept with 20,000 women.
