About The Countess

Due to her age and exposure to much decadence and tragedy, The Countess has an emotionally involved personality. Her relationship with Valentino in the 1920s left her emotionally scarred for life, although it was during this time that she was able to discover her bisexual tendencies. When she married James, she was determined to live the rest of her life in wealth and privilege, although she had to endure her husband’s psychopathic behavior.

From the outside, Elizabeth, played by Lady Gaga, is a glamorous, but cold figure. She never hesitates to use her looks and sexual prowess to get what she wants. Deep inside, Elizabeth is more emotional than she leads others to believe. The Countess feels for people who were abused and discarded by adopting them as her own and granting them the gift of eternal life.
