Lugosi

the long version

This is the most complete reference ever published on the life of the legendary Bela Lugosi. In-depth chapters on his work in films, newsreels, serials, live theater, vaudeville, radio, and television cover every step of his career - even the steps he never took (an entire chapter is devoted to projects and roles that were planned but cancelled). Also included are studies of Lugosi's personal and political life; a discussion of his role as national icon, including the use of his image in advertising; an exhaustive bibliography of works by and about Lugosi in every possible medium; and much more.
