Era's Icon

Era's Icon

The man had a certain look

He worked in films

Doing hundreds of roles

Never making it big

Till he was seen

Eating a meal in the canteen

'I can do wonders with your face...'

The words of the guide

Who set in motion events

Something more than special

Creating the icon of the era

The Stein was brought to life

Becoming more than a B-Movie

Or image in words

Lifted from the page

Boris Karloff became the best

Nobody had those looks

Or presence on screen

Or a hundred other attributes

The icon on which others were judged

Now remembered in film

In art and tattoos

The best of the best...

...Frankenstein

It all started with a meal

And those words:

'I can do wonders with your face...'
