		Actor Boris Karloff, whose career spanned 50 years, the Broadway stage, radio, and films was born the son of a British diplomat, and abandoned aristocracy to star in nearly 200 movies.
		Karloff had no vanity or misgivings about his work in the horror genre, and at 44 accepted what would be his defining role, little suspecting that 70 years after the film was released, his would be virtually the only name readily associated with the picture, which became a classic.
		Karloff performed in a bog of badly scripted B movies that he was obliged to make by contract, and was assigned to perhaps in retribution for his role in founding the Screen Actors Guild.

		Along with fellow actors Lon Chaney, Bela Lugosi and Vincent Price, Boris Karloff is recognized as one of the true icons of horror cinema, and the actor most closely identified with the general public's perception of the "monster"; from the classic Mary Shelley book "Frankenstein";.
