Jonathan Frid: Before the Vampire

With any luck we're going to get a trailer tomorrow for the new Johnny Depp/Tim Burton movie ... because I'm ready to get back to the "historical" part of this blog's charter. I've got a metric buttload of archival images to post soon, many of which I've never seen before (and can assume they will be new to some of you, as well.) First up: a newspaper clipping from the Feb. 28, 1962 issue of The New York Times discussing Don Carlos, a play which featured Jonathan Frid. This was several years before Frid joined the cast of Dark Shadows, but was already finding himself in the role of stage villain.
