On this day in 1911, actor Vincent Price was born to a well-to-do candy maker and his wife in St. Louis, Missouri. After attending Yale, Price studied at the University of London and became a popular actor on the English stage. By 1938, he had landed a U.S. movie contract and soon established himself as an entertaining villain. He starred in more than two dozen horror films in the 1950s and 1960s, including House of Wax (1953) and The Fly (1958).
