"Gary Rhodes and Bill Kaffenberger have once again delivered the goods with their latest work Bela Lugosi in Person. They have combined their gift for scholarly research with an entertaining style to unveil fascinating aspects of Lugosi's stage career and the personal dramas that took place behind stage. Chock-full of surprises and new revelations that will delight every reader, but particularly aficionados who know Lugosi, but not 'Lugosi in Person.' Simply superb."

A Must-have Volume for Lugosi Fans!!!

One of the best reasons to purchase a non-fiction book like 'Bela Lugosi in Person' is to get information that is difficult or impossible to get on your own. This book, entertainingly written by noted Lugosi scholars Gary D. Rhodes and Bill Kaffenberger, is jam-packed with rare information about Bela's career outside of the movies. Picking up in 1932, when Lugosi's fame was at its height, and covering up through April 1944 (when Rhodes and Kaffenberger's 'No Traveler Returns: The Lost Years of Bela Lugosi' takes over), 'Bela Lugosi In Person' covers Bela's live appearances in 'Murder at the Vanities', 'Arsenic and Old Lace', 'Dracula', and the 'Stardust Cavalcade' tour in great detail. Lots of lost facts and trivia are here; including the sad fate of Emil Umann, the Beverly Hills theater owner who almost single-handedly resurrected Bela's movie career in the late-thirties by booking the Dracula/Frankenstein/Son of Kong triple-feature at his theater. With so many Lugosi books out in 2015, this is an especially great time to be a Bela fan! 'Bela Lugosi in Person' is definitely welcome on my bookshelf!

Gary Don Rhodes Strikes Again!

Gary Don Rhodes is meticulous in his research and all of his books about Bela Lugosi are top notch quality works to be treasured by generations to come. As an aside, a very rare Lugosi appearance is unearthed in the DVD collection "Red Skelton: The Early Years". It's from a 1954 show and also features Lon Chaney, Jr. and Vampira! It is also available from Amazon and is very cool! Just thought everyone should know.

You Don't Know Bela

This is such a great read about one of Hollywood's most fascinating characters. The story made me wish I'd been able to meet and hang out with this often misunderstood legend. The book takes you behind the scenes and I felt like I was there with Bela....which is what a great book is all about. The authors keep it interesting, especially for us casual fans that are looking for something more than the usual and customary take on old Hollywood. This is a book I'll pull from the shelf again and again.

Total waste of $9

This is for the Kindle version. A total disaster.
