1887 1931 1969 Appeared Boris Films Frankenstein Monster Notably Universal Karloff


EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures Boris Karloff, the legendary British actor, in a rare moment of respite from his most iconic role as the monster in Universal Pictures' seminal film, "Frankenstein" (1931). Born on November 23, 1887, in London, England, Karloff's career spanned five decades and over 200 film and television appearances. However, it was his portrayal of the Frankenstein monster that would forever etch his name into the annals of cinematic history. Despite being typecast in monster roles due to his distinctive appearance and imposing stature, Karloff's versatility as an actor shone through in his ability to bring depth and nuance to even the most monstrous of characters. In this image, taken in 1969, the actor is seen smiling, a rare sight for those accustomed to his terrifying on-screen presence. The photograph serves as a poignant reminder that behind the makeup and the monster lies a complex and talented individual. Karloff's impact on the film industry cannot be overstated. His performances in "Frankenstein" and its sequel, "Bride of Frankenstein" (1935), set the standard for horror films and paved the way for future generations of actors and filmmakers. This photograph, taken towards the end of his illustrious career, offers a glimpse into the man behind the monster, a man who continued to captivate audiences with his performances long after the makeup came off. Mary Evans Picture Library is proud to offer this rare and fascinating image for historical research and study. It serves as a testament to Boris Karloff's enduring legacy as a pioneering figure in the world of horror and filmmaking.
