Museum to show cult movie favorite Return of Dracula starring Oakhurst native Norma Eberhardt

The Township of Ocean Museum is hosting a screening of the 1958 B-movie The Return of Dracula at the West Park Recreation Center (next to the Community Pool), 615 West Park Ave., Oakhurst, 7 p.m., Wednesday, October 25,--just in time for Halloween. The event is free and open to the public.

The years have been kind to Return of Dracula. It’s now a cult favorite—and a special treat for area fans. It stars Norma Eberhardt (1929-2011), an Oakhurst native, international cover girl, and stage, film, and television actress.

That Norma left home to become a top model and Hollywood star is a storybook tale of its own. Spotted by a New York fashion photographer at the Easter Parade on the Asbury Park boardwalk, she skated on a glide path that rolled her from magazine covers to billboards and eventually to Hollywood itself.

Norma moved in the most prominent circles with the biggest stars in the entertainment industry of the day. In 1955, she returned home to Oakhurst with war hero and French actor Claude Dauphin, to be married at the Oakhurst Methodist Church on Monmouth Rd. The couple lived at Peter Pan Farm, on Park Ave., Oakhurst.

Norma’s ’Local Girl Makes Good’ story is preserved in an interview she sat for in 2006 for the Ocean Township Museum, where she was a founding member and Honorary Trustee. Those who attend the movie on October 25th will also see this 20-minute interview and learn fascinating bits of local history.
