In 1958 I was able to view "THIS IS YOUR LIFE" BORIS KARLOFF, and also taped the entire show. Ralph Edwards caught Karloff and his wife Evelyn by complete surprise, he appeared very much like a gentleman, which he was, very soft spoken and very shy and humble before the TV Camera's. He looked very uncomfortable and not happy about the entire surprise by Ralph Edwards. However, as the program advanced, he met all his old friends, his make-up artist Jack Pierce and also his daughter Sarah appeared. I met Boris Karloff at the showing of the movie, "VooDoo Island" 1957 in the Lobby of a NY Movie House where he signed autographs, and he was the same kind and great person to have met. His performance as Captain Hook in "Peter Pan" 1950 with Jean Arthur was a great thrill for all adults and children.
