📅 in 1937: Prince Edward, Duke of Windsor, married American socialite Wallis Simpson.

After beginning a passionate affair in the early 1930s, Edward (formerly known as Edward VIII) was forced to abdicate the British throne on December 10, 1936, facing criticism and opposition from the British government and the Church of England due to Wallis being a twice-divorced woman. The couple married on June 3, 1937, at the Château de Candé in France.

Living as exiles in France, the couple further tarnished their reputations when news spread of their unauthorized visits to N**i Germany and meetings with Adolf Hi**er. In response, the British government sent Edward to serve as Governor of the Bahamas during the war. After WWII, the couple returned to France and lived mostly in seclusion until their deaths.

📰 In the Headlines that Shook the World series, you can explore coverage of Edward's abdication in the December 9, 1936, issue of "The Call Bulletin." Featured headlines include:

"King to Abdicate: Quits Throne Tomorrow"
"Statement Made By [Prime Minister] Baldwin"
"The Real Mrs. Simpson By Adela Rogers St. John"

🎂Happy Birthday to the Master of Horror, Vincent Price!

Born on May 27, 1911, in St. Louis, Missouri, Price worked as a teacher and stage and radio performer before landing his breakout role in House of Wax in 1953. The film established him as a staple of the horror genre, and Price went on to star in House on Haunted Hill, The Fly, and numerous adaptations of Edgar Allan Poe's short stories. One of his final performances was in Tim Burton's 1990 film, Edward Scissorhands. Known for his debonair charm and iconic voice, Price remains a true Master of Horror.

In 1985, Vincent Price visited the MSU campus for a special Halloween night lecture as part of the Artist Lecture Series. His talk, entitled "The Villains Still Pursue Me," offered insight into his choice to portray famous villains in theatre and film. As a special treat, Price performed his iconic spoken-word intro from Michael Jackson's Thriller and a reading of Edgar Allan Poe's "The Raven."

You can listen to Price's Artist Lecture in Special Collections now!
