film favorite Boris Karloff played the scariest of monsters,
yet he gave the beasts a sense of humanity. He also had a long
and varied film career, playing such diverse characters as Fu
Manchu, a Hindu servant, an Indian chief, a butler, a sheik,
a detective, a racketeer, a murderer, and of course, Frankenstein.
Born in London, Boris grew up to be a great fan of cricket and
gardening. Many actors achieve popular status among fans, but
Boris has been elevated to cult hero, and remains one of the
great character players in movie history. |
