When Rosemary Clooney appeared on David Frankham's BBC radio
program in 1955, she encouraged her host to pursue his unfulfilled
dream of acting. Without knowing anyone else in America, Frankham
left England for Hollywood, where a same day chance encounter with
Elizabeth Taylor and Alec Guinness soon launched him onto live
television without a single acting lesson or credit to his name.
Frankham appeared on many of TV's enduring classics, from playing
Larry Marvick, one of the engineers who designed the USS Enterprise
on Star Trek, to other popular shows such as Alfred Hitchcock
Presents, The Outer Limits, and Maverick. Movie success followed,
including leading roles in Return of the Fly, Master of the World,
and Tales of Terror, all three starring his boyhood idol, Vincent
Price. Other notable film roles included voicing Sgt. Tibs the cat
in Disney's 101 Dalmatians. With a foreword by film and Disney
historian Brian Sibley, here is the inspiring story of a working
actor whose passion for his craft only enhanced his appreciation of
working with such greats as Walt Disney, Basil Rathbone, Debra
Paget, Boris Karloff, Shirley Temple, Rock Hudson, Roger Corman,
and many more. David Frankham shares his stories and the positive
worldview that enabled him to make boyhood dreams come true.
