November for Don is shaping up to be a busy month.
Andrew Shepard recently created this video tour through Don’s “dinosaur home,” hosted and in a few scenes shot by Don. To watch it, go to this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mike9ZLbMBY
To watch a recent interview Don did with producer Robert Amico, go to this link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LLMSVNhEvbc.
In 1973, in a dark corner of the bar of the Beverly Hilton Hotel, Don interviewed Christopher Lee for my then in-progress book (recently reissued) The Dracula Book. During the interview the actor talked a lot about the movie Count Dracula in which he starred, playing the character as Bram Stoker described him. Severin has just reissued that movie, restored, on Blu-Ray and included most of that interview as a bonus feature, including most of Lee’s audio as narration, enhanced by an incredible array of photos and film clips, resulting in a very creative documentary. Don took the faded photo of Christopher. Note in his hand is copy of Don’s then-new book The Dinosaur Dictionary which Don gave him to give to Lee’s young daughter (who like dinosaurs).
