You're right, Bela with Bela Jr. is very adorable and I would think a very rare shot too!

I just love these shots because you tend to see more than you do with the standard profile. The Frankenstein shots are good because it reflects the stories of James Whale running a very "English" set with tea breaks etc... just wish there was some of Dwight.

The shot of Bela with his son that I tried to post before was actually him as Dracula and he had signed it for Bela Jr.

These are fantastic Violet. I'm loving Bela's cap

As much as I enjoy the movie Ed Wood, one thing that grates on my nerves is the implication that Boris and Bela hated each other because from as far I know that was not true according to their children. Also don't like the idea that no one was at Bela's funeral other than Ed Wood and associates. I know that both Vincent Price and Peter Lorre were definately there as well as Bela's family.

Thanks so much Mrs V.

I like Ed Wood but I don't like those elements either. When asked about his relationship with Bela, Boris is reported to have said that they had different lives and tastes and that they didn't socialize, theirs was a professional relationship. But he went on to say that he had warm recollections of Bela as a fine actor. While I don't think they were the best of friends, I don't believe they hated each other either. There is a long list of inaccuracies in the film, which were apparently intentional as Tim Burton said it wasn't meant to be a documentary... a bit frustrating for horror fans though!

Mrs V.: Thanks to those that left goodbye messages and to Endo who kindly offered to help. After the carry on with facebook last year, I became less and less enthusiastic about this board and was frankly hurt by certain behaviours. Life's too short to deal with BS Jun 25, 2013 20:47:08 GMT

Mrs Vindecco: I no longer have energy or enthusiasm to continue, hopefully members can find another way to celebrate Dwight etc. Jun 25, 2013 21:00:26 GMT

limey: Thanks again Mrs V for all your hard work on this forum. I'm so glad I found you guys and to know that Dwight is loved and remembered by so many is awesome! Take care and yes, please keep in touch.
