Hi all - have a somewhat in-depth question for folks. Growing up I had Vincent Price's personalized autograph headshot, and during the pandemic I thought it would be fun to get some companion signatures for my wall. Obviously most everyone from the Universal Horror series is dead and gone, but I got Ricou Browning and Donnie Dunagan to sign stuff, which was cool.
With the holidays, I am trying to research what other living actors are still around who were in a classic 30s, 40s, 50s Universal Horror flick. Think Clint Eastwood, but obviously I won't get his signature lol. I was tinkering around today and thought I identified:
Peggy King - Wikipedia - from an Abbott and Costello horror comedy
Brett Halsey - Wikipedia revenge of the creature/the fly! rick dalton vibes here fr
Ginger Stanley - Wikipedia revenge of the creature stunt double
Diane DeLaire - IMDb - revenge of the creature again ..
can anyone think of anyone else i missed? ik julie adams and lori nelson and Janet Ann Gallow ... but if you know of any late period actors still around would love to know!!!!

Not a UM movie, but Candace Hilligoss, star of Herk Harvey's Carnival of Souls has a web site, and you can buy a nice personalized photo or her signed book.

Whilst not monster related if you're around LA in August, the LA Fire Museum is sponsoring a 50th anniversary for the TV show Emergency. Randolph Mantooth and Kevin Tighe are both scheduled to be there and doing some signings. The original rigs are on display at the museum too.

I don't collect autographs per se, but do have a few personalized, signed books from Adam West, Noel Neill, Will Eisner and my only horror one, Gunnar Hansen. It's also the only one I ever paid for: I bought his book at Monsterpalooza a few years ago but he charged extra to autograph it. I had him personalize it as I didn't really care about the resale value of the autograph itself.

Lastly, I can't find a scan of it, but Clu Gulager showed up at my laundromat a few years ago, and I got a selfie with him! I didn't want to go all fanboy on him but did let him know how much I love Return of the Living Dead. Nice fellow!
