Milton Berle : Lugosi vindicated
Re: Lugosi vindicated
Since they're both dead, I don't think either of them know what's going on. LOL!

Re: Lugosi vindicated
Alex Gordon, a writer and friend of Lugosi's denied that there was any tension between Lugosi and Milton Berle. Arthur Lennig [Lugosi's biographer] asked Berle about the incident in 1974. Berle had a clear memory of working with Lugosi and had a favorable impression of him and had no idea that Lugosi had been upset.
But Lugosi was unhappy with Red Skelton's add-libbing when he worked on Skelton's tv show. A version of this is depicted in ED WOOD [1994].

Lugosi vindicated
Lugosi was a tremendous actor and a great comic, given half a chance. Berle didn't even give him that.
I'm sure Bela Lugosi rests in peace safe in the knowledge that he is still a household name, whereas Berle is, at best, a footnote. And, given his behaviour, deservedly so.
