Dennis Price Overview:
Character actor, Dennis Price, was born Dennistoun Franklyn John Rose-Price on Jun 23, 1915 in Twyford, England. Price died at the age of 58 on Oct 6, 1973 in Guernsey, Channel Islands .
MINI BIO:
Smooth, devious-looking British actor whose aristocratic charmers were often rotten to the core. When his leading-man career fell away in the fifties, there was a failed suicide bid, but he came back to play a series of sometimes dramatic, sometimes comic characters whose credentials were usually as fake as their smile and old school tie. Married/divorced actress Joan Schofield. Died from cirrhosis of the liver.

Dennis Price Quotes:
[Lights Cigarette]
Louis Mazzini: When I've finished I shall kill you. You will the the sixth D'Ascoyne that I've killed. You want to know why? In return for what the D'Acoyne's did to my mother. Because she married for love instead of for rank or money or land. They condemed her to a life of poverty and slavery, in a world for which they had not equipped her to deal. You yourself refused to grant her dying wish, which was to be buried here, at Chalfont. When I saw her poor little coffin saw underground, saw her exiled in death as she had been in life, I swore to have revenge on your intolerable pride. That revenge I am just about to complete.
Louis Mazzini: It was not a piece of news that I was looking forward to breaking to Sibella. She had no rights in the matter, but women have a disconcerting ability to make scenes out of nothing and approve themselves injured when they themselves are at fault.
Louis Mazzini: I made an oath that I would revenge the wrongs her family had done her. It was no more than a piece of youthful bravado, but it was one of those acorns from which great oaks are destined to grow. Even then I went so far as to examine the family tree and prune it to just the living members. But what could I do to hurt them? What could I take from them, except, perhaps, their lives.
