Vincent Price (May 27, 1911 - October 25, 1993)

One of my personal favorites…this man’s voice and appearance sent shivers down my spine. He knew how to capture suspense and he knew how to act…his achievements are huge and his list of work is miles long. I am just going to briefly mention only some of the projects this great actor was involved in. Some of his films include The Song of Bernadette, The Eve of St. Mark, The Invisible Man, and House of the Long Shadows, The Whales of August and Edward Scissorhands… On television he appeared on “Playhouse 90”, “The Jack Benny Program”, “F-Troop”, “Batman”, “The Red Skelton Show”, “Ellery Queen”, “Trapper John, M.D.”, “Get Smart”, “Love, American Style” and “Here’s Lucy.” He played Simon Templar on radio’s “The Saint” from 1947 until 1951…His Broadway career spanned from the 1930’s through the late 1970’s…A class act all the way…his passing was a great loss for the industry… In Memoriam Remembers: Vincent Price Please remember that the works mentioned above are only a few examples...his film and television credits are much larger than what is listed.
