| Dr. Victor Frankenstein first came to public attention when he was the subject of a book by Mary Shelley. Both he and his Monster became celebrities almost overnight. Their friendship over the years has had its ups and downs, but the dawn of the information age has brought them new opportunities. A wider acceptance of science has spawned several modern films that tell their story in new ways.
