When I was nine I played the demon king in Cinderella and it launched me on a long and happy life of being a monster. Perhaps you should choose the manner of your death. How would you like to die? - Swami Talpur, Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff (1949)

Boris Karloff Trivia A photo of him keeping wicket while C. Aubrey Smith was batting was included in a display in the Long Room at Lord's cricket ground in 2004. The display was to celebrate Sussex (the oldest county side) winning the County Championship for the first time and the photo was included because Smith had been a captain of Sussex CCC. Often thought of as a very large man, he was in actuality a slim man of medium height who more massive lifts and padding to look large as Frankenstein's monser. He would mark his lines in the script. Jack Nicholson saw this and adopted the procedure himself. During the production of Frankenstein (1931) there was some concern that seven year old Marilyn Harris, who played Maria, the little girl thrown into the lake by the creature, would be overly frightened by the sight of Karloff in costume and make-up to play the scene. When the cast was assembled to travel to the location, Marilyn ran from her car directly up to Karloff, who was in full make-up and costume, took his hand and asked "May I drive with you?" Delighted, and in typical Karloff fashion, he responded "Would you, darling?" She rode to the location in the star's limo with "The Monster." When he died, the newspaper obituary featured a picture of Frakenstein's monster. Unfortunately, the image was actually Glen Strange in full make-up, not Karloff.
