I was in Woodstock this weekend looking at old movie posters at a flea market, and I got into a selection of AIP horror flicks and was gushing out loud about how I love the old timers like Price, Karloff, Rathbone etc. and this old lady butted in to mention that she had met Rathbone in the 60s. 1/2

And she said it in a very insinuating, sing song way, like as if she had met him biblically, and my social anxiety kicked in and I was just like... oh cool. I will always regret not asking for that story.

He would have been like late 60s at the time, so how lurid could it be!? Maybe I miss-read it.

One of the reasons they all had a resurgence in the 60s was that they were so notoriously flamboyant in the permissive 20s and 30s and they were fun to have around on set. Sluts, all of them.

They only knew how to play the most vile perverts and sickos in the 60s because they had been directed and produced by the real most vile perverts and sickos of the 40s and 50s.
