Biography is a documentary television series. It was originally a half-hour filmed series produced for CBS by David Wolper from 1961 to 1964 and hosted by Mike Wallace. The A&E Network later re-ran it and has produced new episodes since 1987. The older version featured historical figures such as Helen Keller and Mark Twain, or long-dead entertainment figures such as Will Rogers or John Barrymore. The A&E series has placed the emphasis on such people as Marilyn Monroe, Elvis Presley, Plácido Domingo, Freddie Mercury, Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, Eric Clapton, Pope John Paul II, Gene Tierney, Selena, Diego Rivera, Mao Zedong and Queen Elizabeth II, and fictional characters like The Phantom, Superman, Hamlet, Betty Boop, and Santa Claus. The program ended up profiling enough figures that in 1999, A&E spun it off into an entire network, The Biography Channel.
'Biography' chronicles the life of one of America's most versatile and gifted actors. Clips, screen tests and outtakes from films like Masque of the Red Death, Laura, and Edward Scissorhands highlight his long career, while friends, co-stars and directors Hazel Court, Jane Russell, Dennis Hopper and Roger Corman recall working with the legendary actor. And in a rare interview, Price's daughter offers a privileged glimpse at his often-difficult private life. From purchasing a Rembrandt etching at age 12 to defining a class of distinguished screen villains, this is the story of one of Hollywood's most versatile and celebrated actors Vincent Price.
