Description

A fiery scare on the set of The Tomb of Ligeia

TLS, one page, 8.5 x 11, no date. Letter to Mr. Page, in full: "You asked about the worst scare I ever had on a set. For climactic scene in 'The Tomb of Ligeia,' the whole set had been painted with rubber liquid to explod into flame. There were signs all over saying, 'No Smoking.' The girl and I had just been secured under great rafters to look like they had fallen on us when some joker walked in and lit a match! The set exploded. Because I had done it in so many films, my first reaction was to save the girl. I grabbed her by the panties and pulled her out! I thin[k] the guy who started it was decapitated." Price signs his name twice and draws an excellent profile sketch of himself at the conclusion. In fine condition, with a central horizontal mailing fold.
