This new 2nd Edition greatly expands the book originally published in 2000, with additional first hand accounts from people who worked with and saw Bela Lugosi on stage in 1951, and with newly uncovered information and images. Today, 60 years after his death, horror movie star Bela Lugosi remains a Hollywood legend. This ground-breaking book uncovers the untold tale of his 1951 Dracula stage tour across Britain. That tour, like the three films Lugosi made in Britain in 1935, 1939 and 1951, is often overlooked in his life's story. This book tells the full story at last, and adds to a legacy unmatched in Hollywood history. The tale of 1951 also delves in the anything-goes world of post World War II British music halls and theatre. The rich history of British stage, combined with Lugosi's unique career and persona, makes a compelling history.
