Some Lesser Known Facts About Bela Lugosi

Did Bela Lugosi takes alcohol? Yes.

Many people believe that there was a rivalry between him and the actor Boris Karloff which was also shown in a scene in the film "Ed Wood" but this is not true.

In 1997, the US post honored him with his photograph on the 32 cents postage stamps.
There are many rumors about him one of which was that Frank Sinatra paid for his funeral as he was facing financial backwardness at the time of his death which is not true as the payments were made by his widow Hope and ex-wife Lillian. Sinatra had given him a check of dollar 1000 at the time of his drug rehabilitation.
Boris Karloff had not attended his funeral as he was not in California so the belief that he attended Lugosi funeral is also wrong.
He was an Army veteran and was on the post of infantry captain in the Austro-Hungarian army at the time of the first World War.
Lugosi couldn't understand English at the time he was cast to play a role in the show "The Red Poppy" he was asked to learn the dialogues without knowing the meaning.

He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the year 1960 four years after his death.
The actor had adopted four large dogs in his house one of which was a white dog and the other is grey. He also owned 2 black Dobermans at the time he was earning much through the acting field.

Viewer's Reviews for Bela Lugosi

What can you say other than a great actor? Too bad Universal just couldn't let go of the typecasting. Don't believe the stuff in Ed Wood the movie by Tim Burton. Bela Lugosi or Mr. BLASKO his real last name. He was kind no small dogs did not sleep in a coffin but did suffer from Sciatic nerve pain. Which is terrible pain. I myself suffer from that as along with arthritis and degeneration. I understand what pain medication can do having to use one of the same types Mr. Blasko aka Lugosi. Watch The Black Cat, The Raven, and more to see what a wonderful actor Bela Lugosi truly was during his career.
