And who can Forget Bela Lugosi laid out Dressed as Count Dracula in full costume!!
In the Lugosi Book "Dreams and nightmares" it has a few other pics of Bela Lugosi in his casket. the pic's were taken by David Katzman who was a good friend of Richard Sheffield. Richard was a teenager who became one of Bela's best friends in 1955. Richard and David were allowed in the night before the funeral and were able to take the pics...of course I had to borrow Scott's one from FAD!
Audrey Hepburn
I hadn't heard that, but it reminds me of something I saw quite some time ago in an antique shop. It was a long, narrow wicker basket with a top that fit on it. The tag said "wicker basket with headrest," and I thought "who the hell do you think you're fooling?" It was clearly a receptacle used when a body was picked up from the place of death, or perhaps to transport a body for cremation. I wonder if anyone ever bought it??
Heres a photo of James Dean playing around in a casket on a visit to his home town about 2 months before he would return in his own coffin.
Another shot of Bela Lugosi's funeral.
Note Ed Wood at the upper right.
River's is shocking, but the rest are peaceful for the most part. Speaking of peaceful, where's GG Allin? haha.
Jackie Coogan, a.k.a. "Uncle Fester" on The Addams Family
He was such a cute little kid!
I think he should've won an Oscar for his role in Charlie Chaplin's "The Kid." Sadly, the Oscars weren't around quite yet in 1922.
