Vincent
Price's star on Hollywood Blvd. (shown here in a photo taken
by my pal Tom Horne) is not in commemoration of his film
career. As the circular marker in the center of the
star indicates, it's in tribute to his vast career in
television. This may surprise many of his fans, until
the list of programs below is studied. |
