Lon Chaney Jnr, Basil Rathbone, Peter Lorre, Bela Lugosi and Robert Quarry: five noted 20th Century actors who all, at one time or another in their careers, became associated with horror film roles; and who all faced restrictive typecasting and had their own, more personal demons to battle. In this fascinating and authoritative book, researcher Mark Iveson presents insightful biographies of the five actors, whose lives all had tragic aspects - almost as if they themselves were somehow cursed by their most famous roles. Five amazing, intersecting and often shocking life stories, involving tales of vampires, werewolves, child murderers and other assorted monsters, not to mention Sherlock Holmes - and, behind the scenes, devastating alcoholism, drug addiction, family scandal and financial ruin.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Iveson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1845831136\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781845831134\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Telos Publishing Limited\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/03\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 286\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.85lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.02h x 5.98w x 0.60d","brand":"Mark Iveson","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938940551423,"sku":"9781845831134","price":24.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_3b3fa7e6-4777-4b3b-bbbf-5aaa680e8fda.jpg?v=1681438567","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/cursed-horror-stars-mark-iveson-9781845831134","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
