Victor Buono : "Batman allowed me to do what actors are taught never to do, overact"

Lee Meriwether (Gets kidnapped by King Tut as Lisa Carson) : "Victor was wonderful. Victor said to me one day on the set that he knew that he would not live past thirt-two. That was one thing I remember about our conversations -well, that and Shakespeare. He was so talented; he was very gifted. But I don't think he ever really thought that anyone ever would believe the talent that he knew he had. He was having alot of fun on the show!"
