BORIS KARLOFF
Small b/w publicity photo of a smiling Karloff from the shoulders up
in a suit-and-tie, signed with "Best Wishes" in blue ink
Photograph signed "Best wishes/Boris Karloff" in blue ink.
B/w, 6¼x8¼ overall, 6x8 image, one surface. 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, cracked, soiled,
creased and bowed. Light scratches on image (not visible head-on). Small piece
torn from right edge. Otherwise in fine condition.
