The official biography of the voice of Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound
and all things Hanna-Barbera. This first book on master voice actor
Daws Butler has been assembled through personal scrapbooks, letters
and intimate interviews with family and co-workers. Foreword by
Daws' most famous student, Nancy Cartwright (the voice of Bart
Simpson).
The hook is simple: everyone knows that the character of Dracula
was based on Vlad "the Impaler" Tepes. The trouble is, he never
died. Hollywood, Random House, the Lugosi estate, Francis Ford
Coppola, everyone owes him big time for cashing in on his likeness.
Tallahassee, Florida might seem like the dumbest place to start a
major lawsuit against pretty much the known world, but Vlad, an
actual vampire, is more concerned with shaking things up than
staying predictable. He has definite goals in mind... The Rerun of
Dracula, written with the complete support of the Tepes estate, is
the first true chronicle of a dynamic individual with a great
mustache and a legitimate reason to sue. Ben Ohmart is the author
of several biographies of voice actors, including Paul Frees and
Mel Blanc, and runs the small publishing house, BearManor Media.
