Dwight Frye dreamt of someday returning to musical comedy, which he'd performed for years on the Broadway stage.
But this was not to be once he became typecast as one of the screen's leading loons.
Here's are five examples of this...
Dracula (1931)
Frankenstein (1931)
Vampire Bat (1933)
Bride of Frankenstein (1935)
Dead Men Walk (1943)
Dwight Frye died shortly after being cast in a screen biography of Woodrow Wilson.
At the time, he was working as a draftsman for the Lockheed Aircraft Company.
On the death certificate, his profession was listed as "tool designer."
But it is in the horror film where he is truly immortalized.
I neither own nor claim any rights to this material. Just having some fun with it. Thanks for watching!
