Boris Karloff (23 November 1887 – 2 February 1969)
Raised rare Bedlington Terriers while he lived in Brentwood, CA. One
day he was walking them with his four-year old daughter Sara Karloff
when they broke free and they ran up to an inebriated man stumbling down
the street. The drunk begged Karloff for a ride to Cedars of Lebanon
Hospital, claiming he "just saw three sheep bark!" Karloff obliged.
From 1939 "The Man They Could Not Hang"
Boris Karloff as Dr. Henryk Savaard:
"Think of it! The Edison or Pasteur of tomorrow need not die merely
because his heart is worn out. We'll give him a new heart taken perhaps
from the body of a young man who's been killed in a automobile accident.
And our great genius is awakened to another sixty years of useful life!
You ask me if that's a benefit to mankind? I answer it's the gift of
eternal life! But whether man's wise enough or old enough to receive such
a gift, I don't know. I don't know"
