I like to wish my favorite actor on Dark Shadows a very Happy Birthday!  

Happy Birthday Jonathan! Hope you have a great one!

82 and counting. A long way to 175, isn't it?

Here's a recent photo of the 82 year old former vampire posing on his patio in a bathrobe, in day light no less!

Happy Birthday Mr. Frid.  I hope this day brings you nothing but joy!

Yeah, but he'll make it, no sweat - phoning into the Dark Shadows Fest in 2100 and thrilling our great-grandchildren.

What is this penchant Frid has for posing outside half-dressed? Next thing you know he'll be - no, lets not go there!

Well, I was referring to more recent photos, like the one in this topic and the one posted in this one from last January:

And speaking of pictures, a funny anecdote about "My Son The Vampire" is that when one of my aunts saw the pictures of a bare chested Frid reading in bed and in the (gasp!) shower, in utter astonishment she showed them to my mom and marvelled that Frid would have allowed himself to be photographed "that way" and that children were allowed to see "such things."      If she were still alive today, I can't even begin to imagine what my aunt would think about the things that today's kids are routinely exposed to...

MB, I guess your aunt wouldn't approve of this photo either.

Oh, maybe something a little more, let's say, personal?

There's also a penchant for some people to create supposedly "naked" photos of him too but it's a booming industry because there's always someone dumb enough to believe it's the real deal.

Besides, Mr. Frid wasn't "half dressed" on that patio, MB.  His bathrobe very respectfully goes all away around him and even matched the foliage in his backyard!

Do you dress to match your outdoor environment?

Happy birthday, Mr. Frid!

I might also add that that's the snazziest bathrobe I've ever seen.

Oh that article! I remember being so surprised when JF told the Dallas festival audience during the 1986 Q&A how that article was entirely made up.  Mrs. Frid never gave the interview and was pretty horrified to find herself featured in the magazine.  She had only attended a party her son gave for her while she visited New York City (one of his brothers was also there).  There wasn't any other communication with the magazine.  Interesting what you believed while a kid then find out much later as an adult!

Doesn't everyone?

I never thought a thing about the "picture".  Personally, I thought it was kind of cute.  His hair is rumple, he dosen't have his shoes on and he looks like he could use a cup coffee.  I think it's a great picture.
