Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Sara Karloff, Daughter of Legendary Master of Horror, Boris Karloff
About Harvey's guest:
Today’s special guest, Sara Karloff, is the only child of one of the greatest and most beloved cinematic legends of all time – the master of horror, Boris Karloff.
Although this brilliant British actor made 174 movies and demonstrated remarkable versatility, in films like “The Criminal Code”, “Scarface”, “The Public Defender”, “Five Star Final”, ”The Lost Patrol”, “The House of Rothschild”, and “The Body Snatcher”, he is most definitely best remembered for his iconic roles in such horror classics as “Frankenstein”, “Bride of Frankenstein”, “Son of Frankenstein”, “The Mummy”, “The Old Dark House”, “The Black Room”, “The Black Cat” and “The Raven”.
He appeared in many television shows, and starred in 3 TV series of his own: “Thriller”, “Colonel March” and “The Veil”. And who can ever forget his portrayal of the Grinch in the classic animated Christmas special, “How the Grinch Stole Christmas”, for which he won a Grammy Award.
Aside from his iconic work on film and television, he appeared in dozens of radio shows and stage productions, including the role of “Captain Hook” in Peter Pan on Broadway opposite Jean Arthur. And he earned a Tony award nomination for his performance on Broadway opposite Julie Harris, in “The Lark”. He also made over 20 children’s recordings for Cademon Records.
And of course, his instantly recognizable voice inspired the 1962 hit song by Bobby Pickett, “The Monster Mash”. He was a charter member of the Screen Actor’s Guild, and he’s one of the very few stars to have been awarded TWO stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame: one for his work in movies, and one for his work on television. And in 1997, the U.S. Postal Service honoured him as Frankenstein's Monster and the Mummy in its "Classic Monster Movie Stamps" series.
