    It seems that the scariest villains on screen turn out to be the sweetest and kindest people. As an actor myself, I always marvel at the job he did in "Frankenstein." The most difficult acting of all is non-verbal acting, yet he infused this horrifying, lumbering creature with a sense of pathos and all-to human qualities that made you care about him as much as fear him. It was a performance for the ages, never to be duplicated. RIP.

      Be sure to watch "The Bride of Frankenstein," my all-time Karloff classic, and one of the very first sequels of all time. Rarely do sequels ever surpass the original, but this time Universal and James Whale hit it out of the park. Amazing.

    I was four months short of my eleventh birthday when the great Karloff passed away. I remember waking up for school and not only hearing the news on the local morning talk show, but noticing how respectful the program host was. In fact, that particular morning show suspended its usual musical format and, instead, played recorded clips of Karloff's voice for the entire morning. His was the first death that impacted me; a month later, my grandfather died of cancer. When I went to school the morning of Karloff's death, my classmates spoke of his passing in a mocking way, and openly laughed at me when I broke into tears.

    Another wonderful thing Boris did--and this was especially courageous--was helping to found the Screen Actors Guild. In the 1930's actors were treated like objects.There was more consideration payed to "the horse of a different color" in The Wizard of Oz than to human actors who were exposed to toxic make-ups or forced to do dangerous stunts. One of Boris' fellow actors called and told him the studio was planning to have the actors ski down a fake mountain--MADE OF GLASS. If an actor fell, he would be cut to pieces. When Boris heard that, he cursed one of the few times in his life. Somehow, he managed to stop it. But forming SAG was very risky. It was a UNION, and the studio bosses didn't like unions. The actors involved would have to meet in secret and park their cars far away to avoid detection from studio spies. But the SAG was founded with good Old Boris' help. A great human being.

In a personal interview his daughter mentioned that her dad was a private intelligent man. During parts of the show it seems like he was really uncomfortable a first, As I'm sure anyone would be with that news. But he seemed to get into it as the show wore on especially when Jack Pierce showed up.

    Yes, the broadway producers were lightly complaining that they had to pay his salary for four years…I wonder if they were also the ones who wouldn’t allow Boris to be released to make the film version of Arsenic and Old Lace? If they had released him, they might have been able to get the less expensive Raymond Massey down from Canada to play the role of Jonathan. I’m sure Boris would have been as magnetic in the film as he must have been onstage!
