Punk Vampira: Maila Nurmi Part 4

Send us Fan MailWell, here it is. The final installment of our four part series on Maila Nurmi. Maila didn’t get all she deserved in her life and she never really reaped the benefits of her creations. But the life she lived was full of adventure, fascination, excitement and in many ways, love. In this particular episode, we explore her final romances, alleged marriages and marriages of convenience. We also dig into her lasting friendships (including Marlon Brando) and her counterculture grandmother relationship to the punk musicians of the late 70s and 80s. We all need someone to love and care for us, and Maila always found her community, even in her old age. This serves as some consolation for the loss of her intellectual property and her legal battles against her unwelcomed predecessor, Elvira. There's a lot of dirt to dig into here and we DIG.Thank you for listening to this one, and please leave us comments with any tributes or words you’d like to pass along for when we visit Maila’s grave. Links for this episode:Maila and Satan’s Cheerleaders: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g2duQNeim6kSupport the showFollow us on...Substack- https://substack.com/@deadandkindafamousHere, you can find our episodes, transcripts, relevant images and newsletters.Instagram- @deadandkindoffamousSee us visit the graves of our subjects and pay our respects with lovingly selected offerings.Apple Podcasts and Spotify- Please be a Bon Vivant and leave us a rating and review.
