Carroll Borland est une Actrice Américaine née le 25 février 1914 à San Francisco (Etats-Unis)
Carroll Borland (February 25, 1914 – February 3, 1994), better known by the stage-spelling Carol Borland, was an American professor, writer, and actress. She is best known for having portrayed Luna, the daughter of Bela Lugosi's character, Count Mora, in Mark of the Vampire, and for creating the iconic look of the female vampire with her waist-length dark hair and Adrian-designed shroud in this film. The visual designs of both the character of Lily Munster in the television series The Munsters and the female vampire in Plan 9 from Outer Space were based on her striking appearance. She was accused of wearing the "wiggiest wig in Hollywood," but claimed that the waist-length hair was her own. Her character does not speak through much of the film, but walks in a trance-like state until the end, when it is revealed that she and Lugosi are both actors who pretended to be vampires in order to catch a murderer. She was born in San Francisco, California. She was a drama student at UC Berkeley at the time she took the role. She had previously appeared in a stage production of Dracula with Lugosi, in a minor role as one of his victims.
She got the attention of Lugosi - and a part in the play - by writing to him and suggesting that Dracula did not die at the end of the novel, but rather turned to dust just as the sun was setting. However, she was known to exaggerate the closeness of Lugosi's fatherly relationship to her; in Richard Bojarski's The Films of Bela Lugosi, she describes his funeral as if she had been there, and claims to have been, though she was not actually in attendance.
She retired from acting in 1953, though her other screen appearances were limited to a short film in 1933 and an unbilled appearance in the 1936 serial Flash Gordon until Fred Olen Ray cast her in his films Scalps (1983) and Bio-Hazard (1985).
Her novel, Countess Dracula, was published by Magicimage Filmbooks in March 1994, one month after her death from pneumonia.

Dans la région de Prague, Sir Karell Borotyn est retrouvé mort dans son château, le corps vidé de son sang et le cou marqué d'une morsure. Son ami le baron Otto et son médecin attribuent la mort à un vampire, accréditant la croyance locale selon laquelle le Comte Mora et sa fille Luna, morts depuis longtemps, errent dans la campagne les nuits de pleine lune. Cependant l'inspecteur Neumann, assisté du professeur Zelen, tente d'élucider le mystère.
