Biography

David Lewis shared an intimate relationship with "Frankenstein" (1931) director James Whale for "twenty-plus" years (TCM, and supported by "Classic Monsters" website). Mr. Lewis removed his things from their home in 1952, when Mr. Whale informed him of a new lover, 25-year-old bartender Pierre Foegel, coming over to stay. Though separated, the two remained friends. Upon the death of Mr. Lewis in 1987, his ashes were interred in a niche across from Whale's ashes in the Columbarium of Memory at Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Glendale.
