I was fortunate enough to have met and conversed with Mr. Price and his third wife Coral. I wrote him a letter about his art collection late in his life and he responded warmly. He was an absolutely wonderful man, so witty, charming and brilliant. It was one of the highlights of my life to have spoken to him for those 20 minutes.

[@allenkranawetter9482]

Lucky you ☺️ . I do know Vincent Price was born in St Louis

[@ramonapetermann9585]

Vincent Price was and is a rare jewel amongst actors. He was talented, nice and friendly and as good as a comedian as a horror actor. I miss him dearly, but he lived his life to the fullest and his fans will always remember and love him. RIP Vincent.

Vincent was the classiest, most charming gentleman. Old world, witty, great sense of humor. A wonderful actor and mentor.

[@frankblack7801]

A fantastic performer. They don't make them as good as this anymore😔 From Cheshire England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 Britain 🇬🇧 R.I P. Vincent. Gone but NOT forgotten.

[@estebancorral5151]

I have been to Britain, and the whole place felt like one was in a Hammer Films horror movie.

[@Paul-lm5gv]

I had the chance to interview Vincent Price not once, not twice but three times and he was the most delightful interview! I miss the days of daytime TV talk shows like Merv Griffn, Mike Douglas and Dinah Shore!

[@patavalttia]

I forgot how funny Vincent was, just the Master of all good things, art and culture and... everything 🤩

[@SBAYLISS]

Fascinating man would love to have met him.

[@electriceyeslide5959]

Sure about that? It’s rumored he had a thing for the underage.

What a comical guy! Love him!

[@stevefaure415]

Vincent is a rare bird for sure. Erudite, educated, always funny, and a bit more than menacing too. I named my pet rat after Vincent Price. She was a fine rat. Goodnight Dr. Phibes.

[@user-wg2wz9lp4c]

yeah i know but i do it

[@OmegaWolf747]

So erudite and all around charming that I just assumed he was British. Turns out he was as American as apple pie, but knew how to act like he was English.

[@ericmurillo9015]

Professor Ratigan?

[@chriswood7794]

Vincent Price. Children, shut up and listen to Mr Price! No, it doesn't matter if he is reading the phone book. It's Vincent Price!!!!

[@estebancorral5151]

Not only was he an erudite but a sybarite as well.

[@JenniferPatrick-t7u]

RIP Vincent Price you were an amazing person and wonderful actor

[@user-vg2eg7oo5n]

I liked Vincent's cooking show.

[@danielsweet858]

Got to enjoy The Great Man onstage in Damn Yankees. The memories still make me smile.

[@Allagi22]

6:40 "They think we all wear toupees and they are....so right" That was hilarious.

[@DrVonChilla]

Vincent Price.....WONDERFUL man.....truly LOVELY. I would've LOVED to knock back some cocktails with him and us swapping stories....!!! 😃

[@saintkartano]

A lovely man.

[@robertdiotalevi285]

Vincent Price was the dearest soul in the world...unless he was onscreen, then he'd rip your throat out laughing while he did it! And, most young people these days barely remember Merv Griffin as the creator of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy.

[@jeffm68]

Vincent Price was a brilliant actor. Merv Griffin was an execrable host.

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

Vincent Leonard Price, Jr. (San Luis, Misuri; 27 de mayo de 1911-Los Ángeles, California; 25 de octubre de 1993) fue un actor de cine estadounidense, conocido principalmente por las películas de terror de bajo presupuesto en las que trabajó durante la última etapa de su carrera.

[@estebancorral5151]

Claramente que tienes problemas con la ortografía en el inglés. Saint Louis, Missouri.

[@robertdiotalevi285]

It is so funny to hear Merv talking about bargain hunting when he would become a multiple, multiple millionaire!

[@nomadmarauder-dw9re]

Love his info re California wines and all wines as i sip my Rex Goliath Cabernet Sauvignon.

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

[@kierstenwhite7807]

Not even a minute and a half in and already talking about sex with Coral. I love it

[@kingp109]

I never knew the voice of horror was a playa 😂😂😂😂 that's a cool cat

[@stevendaniels8337]

I didn’t even know merv had a talk show.

[@leedee4968]

🎉

[@ironmanjakarta8601]

Irritating how Merv constatnly interupts his guests. I miss a lot of what the guest is saying because Mervs voice drowns him out. Too late now!

[@scottcampbell3940]

When Vincent started talking about Elitch's Garden's in Denver and the amusement park there, I was so hoping that Merv would let Price continue because he had a great love for amusement parks and, especially, for roller coasters - he called them "rolly coasters." At the age shown in his clip, he still rode many, including the terrifying original Colossus at Magic Mountain in California. I had the privilege of filming him on several. He was a wonderful man and I was very sad to hear of his passing.

[@artcaldwell3468]

I. Hope. He was saves. And. Wint. To. Heaven. Eventhough he. Played. The best. Villen on. Movie

[@estebancorral5151]

He played a the evil prosecutor, Vital in the movie “Song of Bernadette” which was about the life and death of St. Bernadette Soubirous of Lourdes. The role changed from a pernicious persecutor of Bernadette to a truly penitent who stated the last words of the play, “Pray for me Bernadette!”

[@elysium619]

OMG! Merv can be so insufferably inane and his comments and interview prompts so utterly awkward, buzz killing and irrelevant. Astonishing that had the success he enjoyed with such weak interviewing skills.

[@estranhokonsta]

He seemed more to be aggressive, sarcastic and borderline cynical in this interview. Probably why Vincent mentionned its hair and vanity.

[@MS-wb5mf]

Merv Griffin was always so disinterested and fake with his guests , it was difficult to watch. His only talent was as a singer, he was underated in that area.

[@ccocoi9583]

HAHAHAHAHA 😜🤪

[@jasonb7812]

There’s no way that man was straight.

[@Soundofsilence-j4d]

Every one thats popular never die there hair. I can not stand grays on me. I guess when person has lot money like MERV they dont give sh...t
