Vincent Price Unmasked: A Biography (Encore Film Book Classics 52)

Unknown Author

4.9/5 (22851 ratings)

Description:Part of the Encore Film Book Classics series, this is a reprint of the original text to Vincent Price Unmasked by James Robert Parish and Steven Whitney. Long known to movie fans as the “King of Horror,” Vincent Price once reflected, “I sometimes feel that I'm impersonating the dark unconscious of the whole human race. I know this sounds sick, but I love it.” Over the decades, he appeared in such notable screen thrillers as Tower of London, House of Wax, The Fly, The Tingler, Pit and the Pendulum, The Abominable Dr. Phibes, and Madhouse. But the real-life Vincent Price was also the personification of a complete Renaissance man who insisted: “A man who limits his interests limits his life.” This is the fascinating story behind the actor who became one of the most cultured—and popular—men of his time. From his appearances in more than 100 films and thousands of radio and TV shows the actor is well known. However, he also authored best-selling art books, lectured extensively on art and history, supervised the purchase of thousands of works of fine arts, wrote gourmet cookbooks, and served on the Indian Arts & Crafts Board. Vincent Price Unmasked is the engrossing portrait of this multi-faceted, highly talented celebrity. Completing this illuminating narrative is an annotated filmography. About the Authors: JAMES ROBERT PARISH, a former entertainment reporter, publicist, and book series editor, is the author of many published major biographies and reference books on the entertainment industry including Whitney Houston: We Will Always Love You; The Hollywood Book of Extravagance; It’s Good to Be the King: The Seriously Funny Life of Mel Brooks; The Hollywood Book of Breakups; Fiascos: Hollywood’s Iconic Flops; The Hollywood Book of Scandals; Hollywood Divas; Jet Li; Hollywood Bad Boys; The Hollywood Book of Death; Whoopi Goldberg; Rosie O’Donnell’s Story; Let’s Talk!
