If you're a fan of classic Hollywood actors, there's a good chance that you've heard of Vincent Price. If you haven't, I highly recommend looking him up, because he's one of the greatest actors of all time. Vincent Price was a legendary actor that starred in several films that are often classified as horror films, but unlike most horror, most of them aren't as gory, graphic and unpleasant as you might expect them to be. I came to know Vincent Price, because of The 13 Ghosts of Scooby-Doo. In that version of Scooby-Doo, Vincent Price had a recurring role as Vincent Van Ghoul.
However, the thing that really got me to start paying attention to Vincent Price was the 1960's Batman television series. In that show, Vincent Price played Egghead. With a name like Egghead, you might expect Egghead to either be really smart or be a guy obsessed with guys. It turned out that Egghead was a combination of the two. He was one of Batman's more intelligent opponents. He even managed to figure out that Batman was Bruce Wayne. In addition to being smart, Egghead had a strange fascination with eggs. His fancy suit resembled an egg, his lair looked like an egg and Egghead loved throwing out egg puns. Egghead could have easily been one of Batman's weakest villains. However, thanks to the show's brilliant writing and Vincent Price's incredibly charming performance, Egghead was a memorable, delightful character to watch. Vincent Price only starred in a small number of the show's episodes, but his performance left a huge impact on me.
I'm not usually the type of person who watches a movie just because an actor I like is in it. Usually, I have to be interested in the premise and/or franchise. However, I loved Vincent Price so much that I started watching random films just to see him. I ended up greatly enjoying almost all of the films that I saw him in. He managed to captivate my attention in a way that very few leading men could.
You might be wondering what Vincent Price has to do with me coming out. As it turns out, seeing various Vincent Price performances was what I needed to make me realize how I feel about myself. For the longest time, I didn't really know what my sexuality was. I was often confused about what I was supposed to identify as. Was I attracted to women? Men? Nobody? I didn't know.
I have been charmed by certain women, but I wasn't sure if I would feel the same way about men. There were some guys that I considered to be handsome, but I didn't think much of it. As the years went on, those feelings I had become harder to ignore. There were quite a few male actors that I was charmed by, but it was Vincent Price that made me realize that it was time to come out. I decided to come out as bi-sexual. I'm eternally grateful to my family and friends for accepting me for who I really am. I'm also eternally grateful to Vincent Price for helping me admit to myself how I really well.
Vincent Price's daughter has confirmed that although Vincent Price had a loving marriage with his wife, he did have feelings for men. From what she's said, it seems that Vincent Price was likely bi-sexual. Vincent Price likely had to hide his true feelings from the world. Cesar Romero, who played the Joker, was secretly gay, but he never publicly came out. During the time that Vincent Price was around, coming out as anything other than straight was a controversial thing to do. To this day, there's still a lot of bigotry, but there have been important steps to making the world a more progressive place. We now have an entire month to celebrate pride.
They say that nothing lasts forever, but a person's legacy can lead to people of different generations being changed by someone who is no longer with us. By the time I was born, Vincent Price was sadly no longer around. However, he still managed to change my life for the better. Although I never met him, I can undoubtedly say that he has helped me with a lot. For that, I'm eternally grateful to him.
