Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we speak to Sara Karloff, daughter of the great Boris Karloff. We spoke to Sarah about her English gentleman father who loved animals and gardening and rose bushes as well as being the face of the iconic monster in Frankensteinand it’s many offshoots. In fact, we talk about just how different the man was from the role he’s best known for. We talk about Karloff’s acting, spoken word albums and silent movie career, including a nearly four hour cut of King of the Congo, a film that is currently being restored now. Is it a serial? A full-length feature? We’ll just have to wait and see. We talk about Sara’s concerns and ideas for her father’s legacy and how she has guarded and guided that legacy lovingly to make sure that her father’s name, likeness and his likeness as the character of Frankenstein and in The Mummy are seen in the twenty first century, just as they were in 1931. It’s a terrific talk with Sara that includes everything from Boris’ love of Cricket, his favorite drink, his favorite breed of dog, his intense desire to become an actor, his love of his final American film Targets and an appearance on The Ernie Kovacs Show Sara didn’t know existed and more. We talk about upcoming projects like a Kickstarter campaign from Legendary Comics and the need to animate some of Karloff’s audio recordings. It’s about the past, the present and the future on this wonderful episode. All this, from a truly fun and funny daughter of one of filmdom’s most famous names, facse and voices – Boris Karloff. This is the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.
