Despite more than 130 film roles including monsters, revived Egyptian mummies, zombies and mad scientists from the test tube days to the computer era, Karloff in his private life was a soft-spoken, lisping, quiet man fond of reading poetry and puttering in his garden. Karloff went to Hollywood in 1919 and began playing bit parts. In 1931 he was asked to portray a monster from the pages of the novel "Frankenstein" by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley in which Dr. Frankenstein creates a man out of parts of dead bodies and jolts the monster to life with electric shocks. "He was inarticulate, helpless and tragic," Karloff later said of the monster. "I owe everything to him. He's my best friend." The success of "Frankenstein" prompted two more films on the theme — "Bride of Frankenstein" and "House of Frankenstein" — and "Frankenstein 1970" in the late 1950s.
