‘50s horror icon pranked wife with Christmas gift she hated every year
Fox News
Horror icon Vincent Price was a big fan of Christmas who loved to give his wife the same joke gift that she hated every year, his daughter says.
"My stepmother hated it," Price said. "That wasn't her cup of tea. And unlike us, she just said it. ‘I will never wear this. I hate it.’" She said that her stepmom also likely wasn't "endeared" by the fact that he also gave a necklace to her mom, Mary Grant Price. "My stepmother hated it. That wasn't her cup of tea. And unlike us, she just said it. ‘I will never wear this. I hate it.’" "The Christmas tree was always a big deal. We lived in a very large house."
She continued, "My dad loved Christmas; he was like Father Christmas. Christmas was his favorite holiday. They were married for 18 years. Every year for the next 18 years, [her stepmother] would get in her thing of Christmas packages some beautiful Tiffany box or some something, and there it was, every damn year that bone necklace, so that was my dad’s humor."
