Maila Nurmi was born to Onni Niemi (earlier Syrjäniemi), a Finnish immigrant, and Sophia Peterson, an American of Finnish descent.[5] Her place of birth was at one time disputed: According to biographer W. Scott Poole in Vampira: Dark Goddess of Horror (2014), she was born in Gloucester, Massachusetts.[6] During her career, she claimed to have been born in Petsamo, Finland,[7] claiming she was the niece of Finnish athlete Paavo Nurmi, who began setting long-distance running world records in 1921, the year before her birth.[6] Public U.S. immigration records show her father's immigration at Ellis Island in 1910.[8] Additionally, Dana Gould claimed in a 2014 public interview that he had seen Nurmi's birth certificate, which listed her birthplace as Gloucester, Massachusetts.[9] In her personal diary, Nurmi admitted the Petsamo story was fiction.[10]
