LOS ANGELES - Elsa Lanchester, 84, an actress most famous for eccentric and comic roles such as the monster's wife in the 1935 film "The Bride of Frankenstein," has died of bronchopneumonia in Woodland Hills, Calif.
She was the widow of actor Charles Laughton, who died in 1962.
She met him in her first London stage hit, "Riverside Nights." When the play closed, they were married.
Lanchester had been incapacitated by heart problems since suffering a stroke in 1984. She was admitted to the Motion Picture and Television Country House and Hospital on Dec. 17.
Among Lanchester's film credits were "The Bride of Frankenstein," a horror classic that gently mocked the genre; "David Copperfield" (1935); "The Spiral Staircase" (1945); "Mary Poppins" (1964), and "Murder By Death" (1976). She was nominated for Oscars for her roles in "Come to the Stable" (1949) and "Witness for the Prosecution" (1957).
