Karloff (1887-1969, born William Henry Pratt in Camberwell, London,
England) was an English actor. Karloff had originally wanted a career in the
diplomatic service, but he instead became one of Hollywood's most frightening
actors. In 1931, he starred as the monster in the original
Frankenstein, a role that had been turned down by Bela Lugosi.
Karloff, who also scared the daylights out of movie-goers in the films The
Mummy (1932) and The Ghoul (1933), also hosted and occasionally
starred in the TV series Thriller. He gave one of the best of his many
film performances in the 1968 Peter Bogdanovich film Targets, in
which he virtually played himself - an aging star of horror movies. Lightly
toned, soiled, cracked, creased and bowed. Light scratches and impressions on
image (not visible head-on). Adhesive remnants on verso (not visible head-on).
Otherwise in fine condition.
