Carla Laemmle (born October 20, 1909) is an American actress and the niece of Universal Pictures founder Carl Laemmle.
Born Rebecca Isabelle Laemmle in Chicago, Illinois, Laemmle entered films in 1925 playing an uncredited role as a ballet dancer in the original silent film version of The Phantom of the Opera and a very small role in the early talkie version of Dracula (1931), definitely the last surviving cast member of the former, and probably the latter as well. She continued playing small roles until the late 1930s. She briefly came out of retirement to play a vampire in The Vampire Hunters Club (2001).
