He died yesterday at his California home, having reached the impressive age of 90. Genre films he was in include THE WORLD THE FLESH AND THE DEVIL, THE HANDS OF ORLAC (the 1960s version with Christopher Lee), BLOOD AND ROSES, EATEN ALIVE and CITY OF THE WALKING DEAD. He was also a regular on FALCON CREST for a while.

One of the greatest Hollywood thrillers of all time, in my opinion.

He sent back my letter, writing on the bottom, "I'm sorry but I don't believe that I fit the classification of 'horror, science-fiction and fantasy films.'" (Excuuuuuuse me!) Oh well. I always liked BLOOD AND ROSES a lot, and really would have enjoyed hearing him talk about it.

I always liked BLOOD AND ROSES a lot, and really would have enjoyed hearing him talk about it. The ironic thing is, I wrote him about 15 years ago, he signed a British FOH still for me from Hands of Orlac, and nicely answered a couple of questions for me. My press credentials... zero.

Imagine my surprise when he phoned back, thanked me for the invitation and told me that Blood and Roses was his daughter's favorite film and he also thought highly of it. Unfortunately, he had recently had a fall, was on crutches and didn't see how he could make it even if I sent a car for him up to Carpinteria. Ferrer was very nice, but sounded extremely weak. and sick, I truly regret he didn't make it that night and feel badly that he passed on, though not surprised.
