BORIS KARLOFF
Circa 1940 photograph of the actor who "scared the daylights" out of
moviegoers.
Photograph inscribed and signed: "For/Al Charken/Sincerely/Boris
Karloff". B/w, 5x7. Boris Karloff (1887-1969), who had originally wanted a
career in the diplomatic service, became, instead, 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
creased and soiled at blank margins and corners and at right background. Pencil
notes (unknown hand) and tape stains on verso (no show through). Overall, fine
condition.
