Pop star
Fabian (Forte) enjoyed numerous Top Ten hits in the early '60s, including
TIGER, HOUND DOG MAN and (his biggest) TURN ME LOOSE before parlaying
his success into an acting career. Throughout the sixties and early seventies,
Fabian starred in numerous films (NORTH TO ALASKA, LONGEST DAY and a variety
of Beach and Biker movies) before running out of steam. He attempted -
unsuccessfully - to kickstart his career by appearing nude in a '73 issue
of PLAYGIRL magazine. In 1980, Mexican director Alfredo Crevenna persuaded
him to take the role of Dracula for this south-of-the-border horror production.
