The Phantasmagoric Phantom of the Paradise, WILLIAM FRANKLIN FINLEY, has finally captured his headline gig in paradise. Finley the quirky, idiosyncratic character actor in Sisters, Eaten Alive, The Fury, Silent Rage, Tales from the Crypt, Funhouse, Dressed to Kill, Simon, The Black Dahlia, & as the lead in 1974's The Phantom of the Paradise has passed on. He went to Columbia University with Brian De Palma and started acting in some of Brian's school shorts setting forth on the road to a career in strange, weird cinema. Old Father Geek here has all his features, and will view my fave, PARADISE tonight cause I'm sure he's rock'n it hard with "Faust" tonight...
