Malena Teves

From Malena's IMDB profile:
Malena's acting career began when she appeared on "13 Nights of Fright" with Neil Gaiman (2004), with Neil Gaiman, on FOX. Malena is a dramatic "Colouratura Soprano" with a lot of soul. She is renowned for her four-octave range, as well as her sultry and seductive appearance.

At 15, she won a five-state opera competition for her a Capella version of "Adele's Laughing Song" from Johann Strauss' operetta, "Die Fledermaus". She has also recorded songs by such famous authors as Gregory Maguire (Wicked), Neil Gaiman (Coraline), Daniel Handler (aka Lemony Snicket) (Series of Unfortunate Events) and many others. Malena is often asked to sing the USA's National Anthem at nationally publicized sporting events, which always brings a true American spirit to the fans on all sides. She has recorded her third album. From this release, she has chosen her favorite jazz standards, such as "Cry Me a River", "Fever", "Yesterday", "Lullaby of Birdland" and "Mambo Italiano!".



Portrait of "Neil Gaiman" by Bradley Beard.
"Neil Gaiman" - biography (taken from Bradley Beard's Facebook page)
"Dreams shape the world". Tonight I present Neil Gaiman, host of 13 Nights of Fright on Fox Movie Channel which aired October 19 through October 31, 2004. He was joined by the lovely Malena Teves. Neil Gaiman's had quite an illustrious career. My first encounter with Neil's work was when I unknowingly purchased DC Comics January 1989 issue of Sandman #1. I was immediately taken back by his incredible storytelling ability and purchased 3 copies of each subsequent issue thereafter. I quickly became an avid Neil Gaiman fan. Following his work over the years, I've never lost the initial fascination that I first had for his storytelling. Unfortunately, I was completely unaware of his horror hosting excursion until I watched the must-have horror host documentary, American Scary, where he's featured prominently in the video and conveys his experience as a horror host. If dreams shape the world as Mr. Gaiman concludes, then it's certainly the nightmares that define it.
