Biography
American actor and author who was best known for elegantly sophisticated horror roles. He also was known as an art expert and the author of cook books and art books.
Price was the son of a candy manufacturer. He tried the New York stage without much success, and then moved to England, where he continued his education, receiving a Masters in fine arts from the University of London. He toured Europe, enjoying the arts and cuisine, before returning to the U.S. to finish his bachelor's degree in art history from Yale.
An on-stage debut in 1935 led to films by 1938. He built a career of over 100 movies, most of which were sophisticated horror roles, his preference. He remarked that, "I'd never turn down a villain role, they're the most fun."
For some years he was an art consultant for Sears Roebuck Co.
