He was an executive at Comedy III Productions, which owns the licensing rights to The Three Stooges.
Legacy
Lugosi has been among those who felt filmmaker Edward D. Wood, Jr. exploited his father's stardom, taking advantage of the fading actor when he could not refuse any work. Most documents and interviews with other Wood associates in Nightmare of Ecstasy suggest that Wood and Lugosi were friends and that Wood helped Lugosi through the worst days of his depression and drug addiction.
