The fate of Dracula's Brides from the 1992 film
In 1992, the famous director Francis Ford Coppola presented to the public the horror film "Dracula" (Bram Stoker's Dracula), in which he assembled a truly stellar cast. Professor Van Helsing was embodied on the screen by Anthony Hopkins, the role of the ancient vampire went to the magnificent Gary Oldman, and who played the three brides of Dracula?
For Monica Bellucci, the role of the vampire bride became a springboard into the world of big cinema: before that, she appeared on the screens only briefly in a few pictures, but after working with Coppola, offers literally fell on her from everywhere.
The continuation of this story is well known: in a couple of years, Monica will meet Vincent Cassel, who will become her husband, and will glorify her name by acting in commercial blockbusters like The Matrix Reloaded sequel and in deep, sensual dramas.
Like Monica Bellucci, Michaela Berku came to cinema from the modeling business. She started shooting for fashion magazines at the age of 14 and in 1988 became the first Israeli woman whose photo graced the cover of American Vogue. Coppola was attracted to Mikaela not only by her appearance, but also by her origin: the model's parents emigrated to Israel from Romania, so Berku had a fairly passable command of Romanian.
Unlike Bellucci, Berku did not develop her film success after "Dracula": the role of the vampire bride became her first and last. But Mikaela successfully realized herself on the podium.
In 1996, Berku married businessman Ron Zuckerman and temporarily left the modeling business due to pregnancy, but three years later she returned to service, now as a plus size model. Since then, Michaela has taken a kind of maternity leave several more times: in total, she gave her husband four children. Since 2011, Berku has been designing clothes and fashion accessories.
Florina Kendrick, also known as Florina Liviana Roberts, was a real Romanian. On the set of "Dracula" she was involved not only as an actress, but also as an expert on Romanian culture. After Coppola's film, Florina appeared on the screens in 1995 in a cameo role in the action movie With Criminal Intent (the name can be translated as "With criminal Intent"), after which she left the world of cinema.
It is known that at the beginning of the new millennium Florina lived in Cal
