Little Victoria Price is now age 62, and it was interesting to learn more about her in my research just now. As an inspirational speaker and author, Victoria often discusses her great father's life and legacy. She speaks at horror conventions, noting that she is not a fan of horror films, but that she is a fan of horror film fans. In the biography she wrote, she chronicles her father's conversion from an early admirer of Hitler to one of the most liberal actors in Hollywood and a supporter of Victoria as a lesbian and of LGBTQ+ rights. Both father and daughter are worthy of our admiration.
I'll be returning with a new post this Sunday, the 15th, and invite you to join the fun at Shady's Place. Until then, enjoy the rest of your week, good buddy Kirk!
Shady, I knew nothing about any admiration for Hitler, but I did know that Price was very much a liberal in his later years and did support his daughter when she informed him of her sexual orientation,
Vincent Price was indeed a gentleman, but my advice if you feel sorry for small trees is to leave them alone in the woods and let them grow. This is assuming that there has not been a recent influx of beavers. Some populated areas are experiencing this and inexplicably welcoming it as good news. --Jim
Jim, when A Charlie Brown Christmas first aired in 1964, an artificial tree was the ultimate symbol of the commercial crassness that had overtaken Christmas. However, as forestation (itself a product of crass commercialization) has increased over the years, artificial trees have come to be seen as a worthy, environmental alternative. Tis the season to be ironic.
In order to keep the hucksters, humbugs, scoundrels, psychos, morons, and last but not least, artificial intelligentsia at bay, I have decided to turn on comment moderation. On the plus side, I've gotten rid of the word verification.
Not The Exorcist then.
ReplyDeleteAndrew, that was Max Von Sydow, but who knows, maybe he was fond of small trees too.
DeleteThat is a cute photo of Vincent and his daughter! I always liked him. :-D
ReplyDeleteI should do more posts with him, Ananka.
DeleteWhat a fun old photo!
ReplyDeleteMy way of spreading Christmas cheer, Mitchell.

DeleteOh how funny is that!!!! I hope the one they got was haunted.
ReplyDeleteOh, Maddie, I'm sure Vincent provided the ghost himself.
DeleteI had a little "Charlie Brown tree" table topper last year! Everyone needs one at least once!

Uhm, what? I have no idea about that movie. But that's a cute cartoon. Happy holidays!
ReplyDeleteI just needed a title, Lux. The actual movie is The Abominable Dr Phibes, with price in the title role, which I think came out in 1970.
ReplyDeleteWe have a two foot artificial tree.
ReplyDeleteThus a compromise, Mike.
