Ernst Stavro Blofeld and Christoph Waltz, among others. It was initially a convention of the films not to show Blofeld's face, only a close-up of him stroking his white, blue-eyed Persian cat. Many of Blofeld's characteristics have become tropes in popular fiction, representing the stock character of the supervillain, with the stroking of his white cat often retained as a parodic allusion to Blofeld's character, as seen in the "Austin Powers" film series with the character of Dr. Evil and his cat Mr. Bigglesworth, or in the cartoons "Inspector Gadget" with the character of Dr. Claw and "Danger Mouse" with the character of
Cat People (1942 film) features Tom Conway as New York City psychiatrist Dr. Louis Judd. In "The Seventh Victim", Judd recounts to a poet that he once knew a mysterious woman who was in fact a "raving lunatic" (thought to be a reference to Irena Dubrovna), even though Judd's character died in "Cat People", making the relationship between the two fictional narratives incoherent. In memos and early drafts of the script, Conway's character was referred to as "Mr. Siegfried"; film scholars believe that the character's name was changed to create continuity between the two films in order to capitalize on "Cat People"s success.
