Boris Karloff lives!

Boris is still revered for his talent, his many qualities that earned him admiration and respect, and, of course, his landmark role as the Monster in the 1931 movie classic "Frankenstein." The biography, "Boris Karloff: The Man Remembered," is the result of many years of interviews and extensive research examining Karloff the person, as well as the actor. His work (which lasted more than half a century) in films, radio, television, and the theater is covered in detail, highlighted with accounts by many who knew him and worked with him. Among the contributors are Robert Anderson, Peter Bogdanovich, Ray Bradbury, Julie Harris, Tony Randall, Ronald Reagan, Eli Wallach, and Jonathan Winters. With the support of the Karloff family, Gordon Shriver pays tribute to this much-loved performer who will never be forgotten.

 

Fans who may have missed a great book on the man best known as Frankenstein's monster should seek out Gordon Shriver's "Boris Karloff: The Man Remembered." Author Shriver shared with Horror Happenings this great quote from Boris to the producer Richard Gordon: "Old actors never die. They just lose their parts." Boris Karloff lives!
