Happy Birthday DWIGHT FRYE

Dwight Iliff Frye (February 22, 1899 – November 7, 1943)

FRITZ, RENFIELD, KARL and many others.....

Show Them to Their Rooms, Igor!

 Art done for the recent  GILLIGAN'S ISLAND  show at the Tonga Hut in North Hollywood-

One of my favorite episodes from Gilligan's Island was called "The Friendly Physician", which had to do with a mad scientist switching the Castaways' brains.

Pictured are Dawn Wells, Tina Louis, Vito Scotti and Mike Mazurki (center, as Igor).

Worth seeing if only to hear Ginger's voice coming out of Igor!

RENFIELD & FRITZ

Comedian Extraordinaire Dana Gould commissioned yours truly to depict Dwight Frye as Renfield (did he have a first name?) from DRACULA , and Fritz (did he have a second name?) from the original FRANKENSTEIN .
Mr. Gould has come up with a great name for the piece-

The Colonel

Character actor Robert Ridgely as sleazoid supreme "The Colonel" from the film Boogie Nights. Kreepy with a K!

Did you know he played "Boris the Hangman" in Blazing Saddles?

BTW, if anyone knows where I can get a pair of sunglasses like these, please let me know!
