Since his death in 1993, Vincent Price's legacy as a Hollywood
legend has only grown in stature. His lengthy and distinguished
career-as the voice of The Saint on the radio; as an actor in such
unforgettable horror films as House of Wax and The Fly, in classic
movies such as Laura and The Song of Bernadette, and on popular TV
shows such as Batman and The Brady Bunch; and as a star on the
Broadway stage-spanned sixty-five years. In addition to being an
icon of stage and screen, Price was an art historian and collector
who did much to popularize the visual arts in the United States, as
well as a gourmet chef and author of bestselling cookbooks. Widely
revered for his elegance and erudition, this Renaissance man left
his mark on many areas of American culture during the twentieth
century. Vincent Price was also a loving father to his daughter
Victoria, who was born shortly before he turned fifty-one, at the
height of his popularity. Though the star's busy film schedule took
him in and out of his young daughter's life, he was always a
larger-than-life presence and, simply, her father. The deep bond
between father and daughter managed to survive the machinations of
Price's third wife, the elegant British actress Coral Browne, who
resented the close relationship between Price and his children and
grandchildren. After Browne's death, Price and his daughter spent
over a year taping conversations that would form the basis of this
compelling biography-cum-memoir. In writing about the father she
adored, Victoria Price reveals a man complex, human, and humorous.
An actor of range, less than one-third of the movies in which he
appeared were in the horror genre. As a pre-war anti-Nazi
sympathizer, he was greylisted during the Red Scare of the 1950s
until, in a desperate gesture, he signed a secret oath that saved
his career. His passion for the arts gave him a second life as a
savvy columnist and museum founder, even as his films were featured
in drive-ins nationwide. And through it all, Vincent Price's
professionalism, grace under pressure, and tongue-in-cheek humor
earned him lifelong friendships among his peers and generation
after generation of loyal fans. Victoria Price's account of her
father is one of candor and honesty; both his passionate and
charismatic public persona and his conflicted inner life are
treated with curiosity and understanding. Vincent Price: A
Daughter's Biography is, in short, the thorough-and uniquely
intimate-life of a legend. For more information about Vincent

In the tradition of Anna Quindlen’s Good Dog. Stay., the iconic
star of the Dr. Phibes films shares the heartwarming tale of his
mischievous mutt. Actor Vincent Price won acclaim for his
performances as a menacing villain in dozens of macabre horror
films, such as House of Wax. Less well known, though, is Price’s
lifelong love of animals, especially his fourteen-year-old mutt,
Joe. From his wife’s passion for poodles to film set encounters
with all types of creatures, including goats, apes, and camels,
Price’s life was full of furry, four-legged friends. But it was
Joe who truly captured his heart. Intelligent, courageous, and
devoted to his owner, Joe was a special dog with a personality all
his own. Â In this touching and light-hearted memoir, with a
new introduction by Bill Hader and a preface by Vincent Price’s
daughter, Victoria, Joe gets involved in all sorts of hijinks: At
one point, the actor has to defend his canine companion in court!
Despite some bad habits, like stealing guests’ shoes, pursuing
lustful trysts with neighboring dogs, or belly flopping into the
garden fishpond—crushing more than a few fish—Price loves his
Joselito, whose unconditional loyalty more than makes up for his
minor indiscretions. And when Price’s elderly cousin who comes to
stay with him is stricken with cancer, Joe never leaves her side.
Price’s tender and witty recollections of his time spent with Joe
will bring joy to any animal lover’s heart.  The Vincent
Price Family Legacy will donate a portion of the proceeds from this
book to the Fund for Animals.
