Born on May 27, 1911, in St. Louis, Missouri, actor Vincent Price came from a well-to-do family. Upon completing his studies at Yale, Price
went to England to embark on a stage career, eventually returning to the U.S. He made his way to Hollywood in the late 1930s and acted in
first film Service de Luxe, in 1938. Early on, producers attempted to turn the handsome actor into a matinee idol but without
success. Rather, he excelled at dark, brooding character portrayals and also demonstrated a flair for comedy. His long association with
horror films began with The Invisible Man Returns (1940; with Cedric Hardwicke and Dana Andrews). However,
many of his films throughout the 1940s were costume epics, such as The Song of Bernadette (1943; with Jennifer Jones), A Royal
Scandal (1945; with Tallulah Bankhead), and The Three Musketeers (1948; with Lana Turner). He was often cast in supporting roles
in A films such as Laura (1944; with Gene Tierney), but starring roles for Price usually came in the form of B pictures.
Price, a well-known art collector and authority, was in the habit of downgrading his living arrangements while on location shooting, using
the extra money to amass an incredible art collection. Price was also renowned for his culinary skills and authored several cookbooks. His
acting career, on the other hand, began to slow down in the late 1970s; he then focused his attention mostly on television and narrative work.
On the set of one of Price's later American-International features, Theatre of Blood (1973; with Diana
Dors), he met actress Coral Browne; the couple married in 1974. Price's health began to deteriorate in the late 1980s and worsened after
Coral Browne's death in 1991. He passed away from lung cancer on October 25, 1993, at age 82 and was survived by a son from his first marriage
to actress Edith Barrett and a daughter from Price's second marriage to designer Mary Grant. In 1999, Price's daughter Victoria
published an interesting and loving biography of her famous father.
