"The best makeup man in the world"
Truer words were never spoken.
R.I.P Boris Karloff and Jack Pierce.
Jack Pierce, was not easy to get along with..But Karloff's gentle ways & charm won him over..And they became genuine friends for life..

I was 9 years old when I saw the "Frankenstein" movie. I ran out of the theatre because it scared me so much:)
"Hello, Jack!"
Karloff loathed being on the show (although you would never know), but he genuinely enjoyed seeing Jack Pierce. When Karloff learned Pierce had died, he supposedly said, "The true creator of Frankenstein is gone."
And he Jack. Spent a lot of time they liked each other
Karloff's friendship with Pierce was very touching-when Pierce died, and one else remembered him-Karloff sent him a bouquet of roses!

A Great Team! Boris And Jack!!♥️♥️
BORIS KARLOFF IS A FABULOUS GENIUS! R.I.P!
This is wonderful! Boris always looked so lovely-such a distinctive face!
This made me cry so hard. Happy 80th to the Wolf Man today!🌕🐺
Thank you Universal, thank you Jack Pierce for creating such iconic monsters.
Us kids will keep your name going.🖤
this is great, 5 stars. I have always wantedto see this archive footage of the two together. Thankyou.
Jack Pierce and Boris Karloff in one interview= WIN!!! Though not like the book at all, I have to say Karloff gave the best performance ever. And the studio's make-up never sat quite right with me after Pierce was gone. Yes the new methods were easier and quicker, but the overall effect of Pierce's work was astounding and creature's like the Wolfman can never look as amazing without him. I'm 17 and I'm so glad to have the old movies and feel terrible today'[s culture isn't exposed to them.

Boris may have acted some of the scariest characters in film, but he was known as the kindest and most generous person of his time in real life.
Legend.
One of my screen idols and one of the best makeup men in the business - ever !
Thank you so much for taking me back to my childhood.
The respect (affection) between both them is apparent. And Snodge C. is right -- Karloff is indeed suave.
Suave for grooming little boys you mean?

I LOVE his speaking voice. We need men like him to revive that garbage we call the horror genre now.
Different strokes for different folks, granny.
@@generalyellor2187 holy fuck. This was 12 years ago. I don’t feel or even think like this anymore, since I was an entirely different person back then. Necroposting much?
In early 60`s when I was a lil lad .. His Frankenstien movies scared me so much ..I had to have company even to go to the Toilet . But even then at that early age I knew the monster wanted love ... but , still scared me . It was quite a few years later that I actualy saw Boris as Himself and not the Monster in another movie . He was a Teddy Bear of a man & not the monster at all. I wish I could have met him .... Love you Boris .
Thank you for posting this. Wonderful Boris with the man that created the most classic monsters of all time. Jack Pierce was responsible for some amazing creations, especially with what he had to work with. My favorite is probably the wolfman and I could never figure out as a kid how Lon Chaney Jr. was under that makeup, even after watching him transform. It didn't look like him at all, but he sure scared me as a kid. Fantastic.
this is awesome. Thank you for posting this
I remember this rerun on tv and didn't think I'd find it...thanks!!
Boy! I was surprised how fast the tears came! has everyone read the nice little anecdotal bio, "KARLOFF: The Man Remembered" by lifetime fan Gordon Shriver? Nice!
Thank you for sharing this with us.
For years I’ve tried to understand the word Karloff uses at 1:10 here as he holds the monster’s electrical bolt to his neck. He says, “I used to call it the” - what? I’ll be very grateful to anyone who can fill in that blank for me. RUclips’s automation hears the word “alibis,” which is obviously very incorrect.
Glad to have you as a fan! We couldn't do it without you young new fans. Yes, Pierce was a makeup god among makeup men. Check out my book and DVD about Pierce. I have been a lifelong fan.
Boris Karloff totally rocks. So suave, too!
Even though Bela is and will always be my favorite, Boris is also very very dear to me. Such a gentleman, and wonderful actor.
Good point... I personally know several people who met Pierce towards the end of his life and felt he was a crusty old bastard, but I would have loved to have met him and I'm sure that he would have loved the accolades, such as in my Pierce DVD where he kept the letter from Dick Smith in his scrapbook... in this video, he is clearly overjoyed because it's Karloff... not sure how he would have been at the end of his life when he was out of work and arthritic...Pierce is my personal hero forever!
He was supposed to be grouchy with people he didn't know, and he definitely didn't get along with Lon Chaney, Jr. that well, but Karloff obviously loved him. And he works surely stands the test of time.
Jack Pierce was responsible for the monsters at Universal. The creations who remain icons now and for always.
Boris's tribute was very true. "The best makeup man in the world" Even Rick Baker would admit that. Its a shame what happened to him at universal. He deserved more than that.
my favourite horror actor of all time, and a perfect gentleman.
I love these two guys so much! :)

OK...1)This was a great find for me and a wonderful shock(I wasn't looking for it )
2)It's amazing to me that young people like balrog13571 even KNOW who Jack Pierce or Boris Karloff is.A friend of mine was talking with me the other day and we said that it's such a shame that todays society couldn't enjoy the work of Pierce or Harryhausen because of the cg used in so many movies anymore.I couldn't be happier to have been wrong.
+cusplatter - It may only be a minority, but many people that love film understand what you are talking about. Many may go back as far as Birth of a Nation (1915). And, even a few might know about George Melies A Trip To The Moon (1902). But, my point is that there are always people out there that really understand film. I sell movies where I work. I am constantly learning from my customers. And hopefully, on occasion, I am teaching them as well. Best wishes, Ted

You are most welcome and thanks for the tip. I'm honestly disappointed with the effects of today. Except maybe with Andy Serkis you can't have a CGI monster give an actor's performance and characteristics no matter how hard you try and spend. King Kong was okay I guess but the original is best. Very nervous about the Wolfman and Creature of the Black Lagoon remake. Even Abott and Costello Meet Frankenstein didn't have the same effect without Pierce, but it was still alot of fun.
so true!
It's available on the whole THIS IS YOUR LIFE with BORIS KARLOFF.
“Frankenstein?!? Frankenstein?!? Where is he?!? AAAAAH!!!!!
Agreed. Sadly, at this time Pierce was working on B movies (Bullwhip is mentioned by Ralph Edwards and he did grade Z horror). But his spirits seem good when he meets Boris. Pierce is 68 here and Karloff is 70.
@Valkonnen
Its true he used laborious methods such as building up the makeup from scratch using cotton and collodian. He did use an appliance for the nose of the wolfman. Also if you look at the Bride of frankenstein monsters forehead it is cleary a rubber appliance and was not built up every day from scratch. Maybe he used impracticle methods but I would argue there is no greater monster makeup than the original frankensteins monster. Rick Baker would kill to create such an Iconic monster.
Awesome. Thanks for uploading. You can really tell the mutual admiration the two men had for one another.

UNBELIEVABLE -how incredible to see this, who these two people are and the effect they have had on the entertainment industry, Legends.

As a makeup artist for over 25 years,Ihave great respect for talents like Jack Pierce. Correct me if I'm wrong though....Isn't it true that Pierce refused to use appliances, and that was why he was ousted? A good artist should advance to what is state of the art for the time,and if he didn't want to, what were they to do?
Puttys and collodians are inferior techniques compared to appliances. They enable artists to maintain proper continuity, are more comfortable, and go on in less time.
Excellent stuff,the only interview as such ive ever seen,there must be a proper interview out there somewhere,id like to also see a a pete lorre and rathbone one too!
Good ol Jack. After Chaney, he truely was the greatest.
Yeah. Well I take it back a little. Andy Serkis did a good Gollum. But then they used a different sort of CGI and he had a physical presence there, but they animated around him. The other LOTR stuff and Avatar were improvements over the usual CGI flaws too. CGI is so overused however and most movies lack realism for it. I like to see a more resourceful director's take. I'm the odd one out at my high school for feeling that way, but I think todays stuff look fake while the old days were more real
I AGREE WITH TRUND27
When an old one tries to prevent two young people to love each other we can call it: useless precaution.
But, I advise you to Go wikipedia and see "Boris Karloff" and "Anna Leonowen". You'll see it was no cigar.
Yeah he did but for legal documents he signed by Prat and never legally changed his name
@romas1995 Well for me both actors and the roles that they will always be remembered for
(Dracula & Frankenstein) have achieved something of an iconic immortality that will always be with us.
(sorry if that sounds pithy or like I'm delivering a sermon)
@angelfish1515 Lugosi had passed on well before this was filmed in 1957.
Do you have the rest of this, I'd love to see it.
Oh and when I say Avatar I mean I still was wondering throughout the movie how Cameron would do it without CGI. His work in Aliens and the Terminator movies were awesome and much more atmospheric without it so I was wondering about how Avatar would live up going int it. It cost a ton though to make some improvements and you can still not quite bring yourself into there. That's why I worry about the Wolfman nad Clash of the Titans remakes. They didn't need any of that to be awesome.
Someone noted Karloff's real name (William Henry Pratt). Does anyone know if he went by "Boris" in his every day life?

He signed his checks as William Henry Pratt.
heh, i live about 15 minutes from angels camp california
I sing about Karloff, Frankenstein, and other stars in The Celebrity Song.
Boris Karloff died in 1969 ! Check Wikipedia !
Surely someone with his creativity in make-up. Most of the film make-up today is so uninspired and allows for no facial movement which makes performances weaker. Pierce's makeup highlighted Karloff's performance
BORIS STARTED OUT AS AN EXTRA, IN A LAUREL AND HARDY MOVIE, LIKE A LOT OF OUR OTHER FAMOUS STARS - SOME OF WHICH MIGHT SURPRISE YOU!

Part of his ancestors were from India. Indians are a very beautiful people
Perhaps so. This one hated Whites. He was very racist.

amazing actor but lets face it he was one lucky son of a bitch.
bela lugosi was equally talented but karloff was always getting better parts and greater salary example ? the body snatcher , lugosi plays a janitor, a fucking janitor , he has nothing to work with. i cant stand this. but unfortunatelly frankenstein is destroyed and lugosi's dracula has been exorcised for ever.
