Dwight Frye's Last Laugh - An Authorized Biography

Résumé du livre

Discover the dramatic rise and fall of the actor who won immortality as the giggling Renfield in Tod Browning’s Dracula (1931) starring Bela Lugosi, and as Fritz, the sadistic hunchback, in James Whale’s Frankenstein (1931) with Boris Karloff. He also appeared in The Vampire Bat (1933) and The Invisible Man (1933).

Authorized by Dwight's son, Dwight David, the book includes detailed information of Frye's early stage work, his Broadway triumphs, and his ghoulish typecasting in Hollywood—which ironically assured him a posthumous cult status among horror film disciples. 320 pages. Illustrated.
