Proudly brandishing a maquette of his character from Disney’s The Great Mouse Detective, legendary horror icon Vincent Price sat down for an interview in 1986 at his home in Malibu. It’s a pretty great portrait of an aging actor so not caught up in the b.s. of the biz and someone who looked at the Hollywood machine with frivolity.
Price, who saw the release of the aforementioned Disney flick that year, touches on Thriller, the other classic horror character actors, his contract with Howard Hughes, working with Roger Corman, movie budgets and more. He even mentions the story behind the photo – called “Lunch Break” – you see to the right.
And he does it with a chuckle and such frankness that is lost in many actors today.
It’s about 10 minutes long. Enjoy…
