Bela Lugosi

It is women who love horror. Gloat over it. Feed on it. Are nourished by it. Shudder and cling and cry out-and come back for more.

Circumstances made me the theatrical personality I am, which many people believe is also a part of my personal life.

Of all the roles I've done on the stage, I'm partial to Cyrano de Bergerac.

I had this wild imagination. I was never me. All my childhood photos, I'm in fancy dress, playing a Russian refuge or Marvelous Mad Madam Mim.

I was raised in Brooklyn and in Baltimore. My father was a bookkeeper. When I was 36 years old, my mother told me I was adopted.

I think for any actor, for the roles they deeply, truly want? They always have to audition for them.
