He was a New York pharmacist and homeopath, but he couldn&#8217;t grow beards.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"10\">He was not trusted by patients so he made the first cream of tartar baking paste to help his mother, a loving woman but a terrible cook, make new leaden biscuits.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"2\">He then went out west to sell the stuff.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"6\">He soon began to make the best vanilla and lemon extracts, which he used as a breakfast cereal.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"3\">Sage was even a fan of dog food.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"1\">The stock market crashed.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"13\">Vincent Leonard Price, his youngest son, was attending Yale at the time. Vincent Clarence pulled him out of school to save at least one family business, the National Candy Company.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"9\">Vincent Leonard, realizing that St. Louis was soon to be the center of the Olympics and the World&#8217;s Fairs, moved here in 1902.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"5\">His candy company was soon one of the largest in the country.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"12\">Vincent Leonard Jr. was christened the Candy Kid by the National Candymakers Association in May 1911.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight active\" data-id=\"11\">He went to Country Day School, then to Yale where he was studying art history when the stock market crashed.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"21\">Vincent did not have to go to school because his father was a specialist in <i>penny candy<\/i>, which was all that anyone could afford at the moment.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"16\">He graduated from high school and went to London to study art. However, he ended up performing on the London stage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"15\">The Candy Kid was eager to become a character actor and came home determined.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"26\">He was 6&#8217;4&#8243; tall and had patrician features. His refined elegance made it impossible to play a Jimmy Cagney gangster. So he instead found roles as sultry, often likable Gothic villains. Then he slipped into the growing genre of horror movies.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"22\">He said it about 100 times later, &#8220;I sometimes feel like I&#8217;m impersonating a dark unconscious of all humankind.&#8221;<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"14\">But all that fear, horror, and evil were offset by lots of joy.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"25\">He was an art collector, having bought a Rembrandt engraving at 12 years old. He also wrote cookbooks, perhaps under Granddad&#8217;s influence. Victoria learned how to make pancakes from scratch, and how to wait for bubbles before flipping them.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"17\">She once confided that he was &#8220;like a big child.&#8221;<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"19\">&#8220;He was always curious, always interested, and had such a generous spirit.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"20\">He was a great believer in gratitude.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"18\">He was an optimist at heart.<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"23\">He felt that we must face our fears and go into the darkness.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"wordai-block rewrite-block enable-highlight\" data-id=\"24\">He was a great grandfather and knew how to get the best out of us.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The King of Horror!\u00a0Bah!\u00a0Vincent Leonard Price was still wearing shorts when his family moved from Washington Avenue to 6320 Forsyth.\u00a0Vincent Clarence Price was his grandfather.
