Every individual has their own tastes and although I can understand that some may feel that Vincent Price was just a ham, I cannot share that opinion.
I have been a "fan" of Mr Price since my very young years and never missed him when he was on TV (even if meant sneaking out of bed at some unearthly time). I always felt that Vincent had that certain gentleman like flair which demanded attention yet he always made it difficult for the viewer to decide whether he was being serious or laughing at those around him. It was this ambiguity in his appearances that drew me to him and I very much enjoyed films like Ligeia and the Doctor Phibes escapades.
It cannot be denied that there are certain actors who set themselves apart from the rest and either you like them or you loathe them.
Vincent Price and Christopher Lee are two actors who accompanied and inspired me throughout my childhood and whose work has never lost that very special magic.
