Description
One of the great actors of his generation, Bela Lugosi made a name for himself in the title role of Universal Studio's adaptation of "Dracula," a role he first made famous on Broadway, yet he always seemed to play second fiddle to that other famous horror actor, Boris Karloff. Lugosi, however, rejected the role of the monster in Universal's adaptation of "Frankenstein" (it was a non-speaking part), opting to attach his name to a project that ultimately went unproduced, while Karloff instead donned the make-up and became a superstar in his own right. His career flagging, Lugosi worked in repertory productions of "Dracula" and "Arsenic and Old Lace" during the late '40s, his role in the latter being one Karloff had made famous on Broadway (the film version even makes reference to him). The booklet is approx 5 1/2" x 7 1/2" and weighs under one pound at 0.04lb. The booklet is in a good, vintage condition with light wear. Please note, this does not come with a COA and it was acquired from a client who had the booklet signed at the production.
