I am now the proud owner of the following autographs:
Lon Chaney, Jr on an album page
Bela Lugosi pencil signature on a card
Boris Karloff signed on the back of a meal ticket with the words Frankenstein written under his signature.
The best of all is an extremely rare signature of Dwight Frye on a card with a few words of sentiment. His autograph is worth more than the other three put together.
I had written Ingrid Pitt and sent her some scanned copies to sign. A letter came back saying that you needed to join the fan club to get autographs. But the great person Ms Pitt was, she signed one of the photos and sent it back to me. Ans she passed away not long after that.
I had sent Angus Scrimm some photos in 2008. In Sept of 2012 I received a phone call from him wanting to know if I still lived at the same address. I was not home and he said that he would call back tomorrow. He in fact did and I had about a 15 minute conversation with him. A real nice guy.
He returned all of my photos and cards signed personally to me plus two of his own.
He said he was looking to do another film soon and it was in the wrorks.
He is 87 years old and still going strong! Like the Energizer Bunny, that Tall man keeps on going.
That made my day ( to quote Clint Eastwood).
Did you know that he was a writer for various magazines including TV Guide? He also won an Emmy Award for LP album liner notes as well as a couple of other nominations.
I will have to copy my blog from The Movie Buff to here so that you can learn all about this fine gentleman.
