He had intellect, versatility and humor. Today's acto 111c rs, and actresses, have none of these qualities, except a very few. Isn't this depressing? But then today's movie industry is nothing but a factory of trash. I tell it like it is.

Re: Well, he is gone and almost no actor of today can compare to him!

You "tell it like it is" and you're right. There aren't many actors today that have half the talent that Vincent Price had. It is sad and disheartening.

Did you see the "House on Haunted Hill' remake? Absolutely TERRIBLE!

If they do a "Abominable Dr. Phibes" remake I will jump out of a 17 story window.

No, I haven't. I don't watch today's movies much. But even the original one of 1959 was pretty bad and ridiculous. It made me laugh all the time.

Re: Well, he is gone and almost no actor of today can compare to him!

Oh, yeah, it's hokey and silly, but still a classic in my opinion. I think the underlying silliness was intended. When the movie was released in theaters they even used the old "skeleton on a string" technique, lol!

HOHH had a cop-out ending too, I watch it because it is fun and has stars I like. Vincent Price is like Peter Cushing, he is good in every role.

He was also a great admirer of art.

Re: Well, he is gone and almost no actor of today can compare to him!

I agree, Price is a lot like Peter Cushing. I'm also a fan of his. Christopher Lee as well.

Yeah, I saw him on some show from the 60's and he was talking about art and had some paintings that he owned on there.

Very well rounded and interesting guy. I have to get that biography that his daughter wrote on him.

Anyone h 238 ere have that book?



Re: Well, he is gone and almost no actor of today can compare to him!

I do, and I highly recommend it. Victoria Price wrote a very fine memoir that pulls very few if any punches. It's very smart, and very honest. Please seek it out if you admire Vinnie.

Re: Well, he is gone and almost no actor of today can compare to him!


I highly recomend the book also, its one of the best actor bios I have ever read....
It is not our abilities that show who we truly are...it is our choices

Re: Well, he is gone and almost no actor of today can compare to him!

Thank you both. I'll be getting it very soon. :)



Re: Well, he is gone and almost no actor of today can compare to him!

Bless you heart. From the first time when I saw "Last man on Earth at about 10 years old, I was hooked on him and his acting and his charm as a human being.

Re: Well, he is gone and almost no actor of today can compare to him!

He was unique and intelligent. He has the rare ability still to chill me and make me laugh at the same moment. He was a wonderful screen personality.
