Who’s Your Daddy?
My mom and dad got divorced when I was 2. I didn’t really know much about my father, other than his voice. He had a really deep voice and a thick Hungarian accent.
I had never heard another man with a voice quite like his until I saw a tall handsome man on TV one day…tall and pale like my mom said my dad was…with straight dark hair and piercing eyes, like my mom said…so of course, my 4-year-old mind figured that Dad (Apu) was on TV.
That man was Bela Lugosi.
“Anyu! Apu is on the television!” I screamed to her whenever “Dracula” was on.
She smiled to herself. “Yes, Stephie, your fadder sure knows how to suck dah blood out of anything.”
Obviously, I didn’t see the irony her comment until today.
