787 Bram Stoker's Dracula (1993)

 Francis Ford Coppola's adaptation of Dracula ( no more faithful to Stoker than any other version )  divided the critics  and I'm in the hater's camp. It  looks good in  the  main  and won some technical Oscars but  it's let down by  an  overblown and pretentious script and some  abominable acting whether hammy ( Gary Oldman ) or  terminally wooden ( Keanu Reeves ).

Winona Ryder ( as Mina /Elisabeta )

Sex : Mina has an intimte encounter with Dracula but it's not sexual in the conventional sense,

Death : Mina survives, Elisabeta throws herself off a  castle wall

Winona  was raised on a commune  in  her early years and made her initial impact as  a  quirky teenager  in the late eighties most  notably in Beetlejuice . She became a big star in the nineties with two Oscar nominations and  a  high profile liaison with Johnny Depp. Her  career hit the rocks in 2001  when she  was  arrested  and  subsequently convicted for  shoplifting. She took a four  year break from  acting and  returned  to  smaller films  in  the  late  noughties. She  has  repaired  the  damage  to  some  extent  with  a  starring  role  in  the  TV  series Stranger Things.

Sadie Frost ( as Lucy )

Sex : Lucy has sex with Dracula in bestial form

Death : Staked through the heart as a vampire

Sadie is an English actress from Islington who first appeared on screen as a toddler in a Jelly Tots advert. In the early eighties she started appearing in music videos where she met first husband Gary Kemp. She made her film debut in Empire State in 1987. This  is  probably  her  biggest film role. In 1995 she and Kemp divorced and two years later she married Jude Law. Through him she  got  involved in film production and eventually directing though she still acts. In 2024 she directed a feature-length documentary about Twiggy.

Monica Bellucci ( as Dracula Bride)

Sex : She seduces Jonathan Harker

Death : Beheaded by Van Helsing

Monica  was  born in Italy. Originally she set out to be a lawyer but  modelling  on the side during  her  studies led her to the film world. Her Italian film debut was just before this. She  declined to move  to  Hollywood and has mainly worked in French cinema including the highly  controversial Irreversible in 2004.. Her career is ongoing

Michaela Bercu ( as Dracula Bride )

Sex : She seduces Jonathan Harker
