Bela Lugosi signed cut. This cut page was hand signed by the late legendary horror actor (deceased 1956). SOURCE: This item came from the 4000+ piece collection of a second generation collector from the U. A with a lifetime of collecting and a stellar reputation who inherited a large collection of old and rare signatures spanning the early 1900s to present. Béla Ferenc Dezso Blaskó October 20, 1882 – August 16, 1956, known professionally as Bela Lugosi , was a Hungarian-American actor, best remembered for portraying Count Dracula in the 1931 horror classic Dracula. Ygor in Son of Frankenstein (1939) and his roles in many other horror films from 1931 through 1956. He co-starred in a number of films with Boris Karloff, who was able to demand top billing. To his frustration, Lugosi, a charter member of the American Screen Actors Guild, was increasingly restricted to mad scientist roles because of his inability to speak English more clearly. He was kept employed by the studios principally so that they could put his name on the posters. Among his teamings with Karloff, he performed major roles only in The Black Cat (1934), The Raven (1935), and Son of Frankenstein (1939); even in The Raven, Karloff received top billing despite Lugosi performing the lead role.
