Sara Karloff

Overview

Sara Karloff was born on November 23, 1938 in Los Angeles, California, USA. She is an actress, known for Heading East, My Lovely Monster (1991) and Deader Country (2009). She was previously married to William J. "Sparky" Sparkman, Derry Lee Brodsack and Richard Edwin Cotten.

One of her favorite films is Young Frankenstein (1974), a humorous homage to the three classic Universal Studios Frankenstein films that her father, Boris Karloff, had starred in (i.e., Frankenstein (1931), Bride of Frankenstein (1935) and Son of Frankenstein (1939)). She has often stated that if her father had lived long enough to see the film (he died in 1969), he would have loved it.

On occasion, attends conventions of the classic Universal Studios horror films, sometimes along with Bela Lugosi Jr., and shares with fans a great admiration for her father's-screen legend Boris Karloff-work, even though she always admits that she is not a fan of the horror genre herself.

[about her father Boris Karloff] A lot of people don't know that Frankenstein (1931) was his eighty-first film. Of course nobody ever saw the first eighty.
[When asked if she watches horror films] God no! I'm the biggest wuss in the world. I leave the room when Murder, She Wrote (1984) comes on.
[on her father Boris Karloff, speaking about his last wife putting him on the TV show "This Is Your Life"] "He said my stepmother sold him out for a washer and dryer!"
[on her father, Boris Karloff, divorcing her mother and why he married her mother's best friend] I don't have the faintest clue what went wrong... but at the same time, he married my stepmother the day after the divorce was final.
[at a convention appearance, alongside Bela Lugosi Jr.] The media hype that there was an animosity or a rivalry between our parents was just media hype, but it went a long way toward selling tickets for the films in which they appeared together.
