Okay...who out there knows the trivia about The Wellingtons??? They sang a very famous TV theme song. I'll bet everybody knows the song. It had something to do with a three hour tour, a three hour tour.
With all respects to the great Lon and Bela, both highly underrated and misunderstood artists, I don't believe that Boris became "parody". One of his last efforts was one of his very best..."The Wurdalak" episode from Mario Bava's classic "Black Sabbath" (1963). Boris did not become an addict or an alcholic. I'm sure he was set for life. Remember, he was already well into his 40's when he first portrayed the Frankenstein monster in 1931!!!! Boris should've won 2-3 Oscars for his efforts.
Gotta wonder if Karloff was needing cash. When he first started his career, he wanted to use only his last name, like Madonna. None of the guys who played the classic monsters ever got another chance to play it straight. Lugosi, Chaney, Karloff. They all became parodies. A shame, really.
WOW what a party. Really wish I could've been there.
It's Christmas Day right now but I'm missing Halloween
