Vincent Price

Vincent Leonard Price, Jr. was born in 1911 in St. He was an American actor born in St. Louis. He took part in more than 180 films and television productions throughout his career, which spanned from the theater stage to the cinema. Best known for his horror and thriller films, Price often portrayed mysterious, noble characters who took revenge on those who wronged him.

The famous actor, who added a special depth to his acting with the strong and smooth intonation of his voice, appeared not only in films but also in many audiobooks and cartoons. The horror stories he recorded for Caedmon Records are among his iconic works.

Price started his art education at Yale University. He increased his stage experience by stepping into professional theater in 1935. During his transition to cinema, he attracted attention with his first important film, "Laura", produced in 1944. In 1939, she had one of the first big breakthroughs in her career, in "Tower of London", in which she starred alongside Boris Karloff.

Although he is known only for horror films, he has also shown successful performances in espionage, detective and drama genres in his filmography. In 1949, he had the opportunity to work with big names such as Ava Gardner and Charles Laughton in the movie "The Bribe".

Price, who mostly turned to B-class horror films in the 1950s, teamed up with the famous director Roger Corman in the 1960s and starred in unforgettable films adapted from the works of Edgar Allan Poe. He took part in productions such as “House of Usher” (1960), “Pit and The Pendulum” (1961) and “The Raven” (1963).

Especially the fact that Jack Nicholson, who was still young, starred in the movie "The Raven" shows how impressive this series is. Price, who also appeared on television in the 1970s, took part in BBC's horror and mystery projects. The famous actor, who is also very productive in the field of voice-over, appeared in Michael Jackson's album "Thriller" in 1982 with his iconic narrator voice. In the last years of his life, he appeared in Tim Burton's movie "Edward Scissorhands".

Price, who was married three times, had a son from his first wife and a daughter from his second wife. He opened art exhibitions with his second wife, Mary Grant Price, and became known for his interest in painting during this period. Price, who married Australian actress Coral Browne in 1973, converted to Catholicism with this marriage.

His wife became an American citizen for him. Price, who carved out a permanent place for himself in cinema history, passed away in Los Angeles in 1993 due to lung cancer. The autobiography book he left behind, "I Like What I Know - A Visual Autobiography", bears the traces of his artistic life.
