81. Gore Vidal's IMDB page

Wed Aug 1, 2012, 06:04 PM

Aug 2012

His IMDB page lists him as a writer for 41 screenplays or teleplays and, an actor in 12 movies or TV series. He appeared as himself 77 times.

I particularly remember his narration of the documentary about the life and death of Abraham Lincoln. I remember how his voice broke when he narrated the account of Lincoln's death. Lincoln was an historical figure that Vidal truly admired.
