Vincent Price
Born 1911; St Louis, Missouri.
Died 1993
Vincent Price is best remembered for his roles in horror movies, specifically the
Roger Corman adaptations from Edger Allan Poe. Although these gave him a wide
variety of characters to play and were striking enough, they type cast him for the
remainder of his career. Price did not start out with the intentions of becoming an
actor but rather an art historian. He obtained degrees in Art History and English at
Yale and then taught school for a year. He felt that he needed to further his education
though as the students seemed to know more than he did! Price returned to college to
take his Masters in Fine Arts at the Courtauld Institute in London, he also studied
briefly in Vienna.

the 26th December 1935 and ran for three years.
