    Book-accurate Dracula was basically Oscar Wilde - just like book Willy Wonka.))

      Dunno about that. If I can just steal the e-notes summary:

      Count Dracula, as described by Jonathan Harker in Bram Stoker’s novel, is a tall, old man dressed entirely in black, with a long white moustache. He has an aquiline face, a high-bridged nose, arched nostrils, a domed forehead, bushy eyebrows, and a cruel-looking mouth with sharp white teeth. His ears are pointed, and his skin is extremely pale. Additionally, his hands are coarse, broad with squat fingers, and there’s hair growing out of his palms.

      Oscar Wilde was a good-looking guy; also, straight-nosed, clean shaven, full lips. Not noticeably tall, and alas, never got that old, either.
