At 10 years old, Vincent Price was (still is) my favorite actor. My mom raised me on all the old horror movies. Vincent Price was doing a little segment on the Disney Channel called "Read, Write, and Draw," so I tried writing him a letter care of Disney Channel Magazine. A couple months later, I received back a color signed/inscribed photo of Mr. Price from Batman, as Egghead. That's pretty much what started it; I guess you could say it's Batman's fault because my next letter was to Burgess Meredith (it wasn't even a request, I just sent him a get well card when I read he was in the hospital), and I got a really nice Penguin photo from him. Being a kid, I had no idea about sending SASE so I was pretty lucky!
