Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Victoria Price, daughter of actor and horror movie icon Vincent Price. To say that this episode was a popular one would be an understatement. It’s our most listened to episode. I think it’s safe to say the cult of Vincent was strong with this one.
Victoria was a gracious and open guest who talked to us about growing up in Los Angeles with her famous father and mother, costume designer Mary Grant Price. We discussed the issues of not being able to ride your bike in the hills, the lesson she the realities of being a celebrity child when her artwork was selected as a standout, only to be told that likely, it was her famous father’s name and art collection that got her noticed and our favorite part of our conversation involving a car wash & Mexican food you likely won’t hear anywhere else.
Along the way we hear what it was like going to the World Series with her dad, her father’s passion for gourmet food, growing up with best friends who were the daughter of Nat King Cole and more. If Broadway, The Witchfinder General or Crème Brule are your thing, this is also your episode. Take a listen to the latest episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story. Even a family brand ambassador.
I have my own (sort of) Vincent Price story to share. I went to law school at the Univ. of Maryland in Baltimore, in a building right next to the grave of Edgar Allen Poe. One day my contracts professor was glowing nuts, hollering, “Vincent Price is in the graveyard!!!” And he was, at Poe’s grave, filming something. I didn’t get to see him myself but seeing my contracts professor go nuts with fan excitement was a real hoot.
