Dwight Frye: Hollywood's Favorite Lunatic (Part One)

[60RHPWINNER]

A dude named BROCK PEMBERTON was a teammate of mine in professional AAA baseball with the MIAMI AMIGOS. Wonder if he was a relative!

MR. FRYE was a genious. I AM a HUGE fan & A PRO ACTOR/AGENT with family in show biz 6 decades and WE have worked and seen them all dwight was the BEST!

it's hardly legal, therein lies the problem. :P

some hack who doesn't deserve his/her star should be cast aside, in favor of this unsung genius.

[youngfreak32]

He deserves a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame!

[webothlovesoup]

He really does!

[bobychampion]

fuckin right mate ! :)

[kakadoodoo3000]

i propose that we dig up a star of someone unworthy, and replace it with a star for dwight frye. :) (i'm only half-joking.)

[youngfreak32]

If it was legally possible, I'd join you.

This was really wonderful! Thank you so much for putting it together...a fine tribute to a great, great actor.

[webothlovesoup]

Sorry I didn't reply to this sooner, a lot sooner but I just wanted to say thanks.

[newchelseagirl]

Wonderful - this is really well done! Thank you. (And I love the photo in the bathing suit. LOL)

[webothlovesoup]

Thanks and yes I love that photo as well. I like a lot of his personal photos, he looks kind of shy which endears the man to me even more!

[newchelseagirl]

You are so right - the shyness is something that endears him to me as well...he seems very sweet...such a gentle soul!

Thanks Jen! "Dwight Frye's Last Laugh" is a fabulous book and I got quite weepy readin it myself :)

[Serenadesong]

What a great idea! With your video to Peter and Lady love's tribute to Dwight I had missed seeing this video earlier today, but I am glad that I caught it now! This must have been A LOT of work to put together, not only with scanning several photos from "Last laugh" but also tracking down some historical photos and clips as well from the time that Dwight lived in.

I have a photo of Laura and Dwight's apartment in N.Y. that you could have used for this too!

What a great job!

[webothlovesoup]

Thanks for the comment Serenadesong . I'd been thinking about doing this for a while and it was driving a bit Renfield like thinking about it.

[Serenadesong]

The props were more than deserved! You did a great job with a great idea! Can't wait for part two:)

I just love this! I soared through "Dwight Frye's Last Laugh" on a round-trip plane ride between Kentucky and New Hampshire. I was embarrassed because I kept tearing up and I tried to hide my tears from the strangers next to me. I love this biography, Carrie! So touching! Can't wait to see the next part!
