Dwight Frye's Last Laugh

I have been a Dwight Frye fan for five years and I have had this wonderful book that long. It is worn and old but when November 7 roles around I usually pull Dwight Fryes Last Laugh out and start reading. He was an incredibly talented actor and I wish he would have been given a chance in Hollywood. I believe he would have made it big. Thanks to the authors Gregory William Mank, James T. Coughlin, and the late Dwight David Frye. Thank you Dwight I. Frye for all the inpiration!!

Very interesting reading, I enjoyed this book so much, because I have always been interested in Dwight Frye as an actor , but didn't know where to turn for information on him....Lucky me, I found this great book on the internet....I have read it over and over and make many references to the book along with the movies it covers... This book is about a great character actor..Must Have...

I enjoyed this book a lot. It's very well written, and while reading it, I wished it'd go on forever. Frye was a remarkable actor, and deserved a better fate. So sad his life and career was cut short. (Shouldn't someone film this story ?.) I highly recommend the book, not just to Horror fans.

I have been a HUGE fan of Univrsal Horror since I was a small child. I am more a fan of Dwight Frye. He has for a long time been considered the more neglected actor of Universal Horror, after I have read all the books that contain facts about him,seen all the card sets of him,and seen all the the movies, I think he has earned his way into being considered one of the big name actors. This great biography tells all about this great man and his now famous carear.

For fans of the genre, an invaluable and poignant survey of the life and films of one of horror's neglected masters. Written with the cooperation of Dwight Frye's only son, this biography is the last word on Frye's filmography, and a poignant human interest story of the man who was not only Renfield in Dracula, but an avid Christian Scientist, and who died at the age of fourty-four at the intersection of Hollywood and Vine. One might wish it was less of a Valentine and more of a study of Frye's complex personality, but the authors have done an invaluable service in filling in some missing pieces of this esoteric corner of Hollywood history. Now, if they would only tackle Laird Cregar!
