Happy Birthday Dracula!



Today, Frank Langella turns 73. Most people these days know Frank from recent performances in "The Box" and his Oscar nominated turn in "Frost/Nixon." In the 1970s, however, Frank played Count Dracula. 1979's "Dracula" paired Langella with some heavy hitters -- Laurence Olivier, Donald Pleasence.

I also have to give Frank some props for introducing 70s era kids to Zorro in 1974's "The Mark of Zorro" (opposite Ricardo "Khan" Montalban). And 1980s kids will remember him as Skeletor in "Masters of the Universe." He also played Superman's boss Perry White in 2006's super lame "Superman Returns."

Happy birthday, Frank!
