I think it was Dr Frankenstein's assistant, but I can't recall the hunchback's name

How about Igorewytsch or Ygor
Ygor was a character made famous by Bela Lugosi's portrayal in the Son of Frankenstein (the third in the series, and the last to feature Boris Karloff as the monster). He was not a hunchback, but had a broken neck; the result of a failed hanging for body snatching.

In the 1931 film Frankenstein, Dwight Iliff Frye did indeed play Dr. Frankenstein's hunchback assistant, often incorrectly identified as "Ygor" or "Igor." Does anyone remember his name?

Hint: It's also the name of an infamous cartoon cat.

Fritz was the name of Dr. Frankenstein's hunchback assistant.

Dwight Iliff Frye (1899 – 1943) was an American stage and screen actor. He also played the madman Renfield in Dracula, and returned in the Bride of Frankenstein (the sequel) as the doctor's assistant, Karl (Fritz having been killed by the monster in the first film).

You're up, harakiri!

Sex, booze, and drugs, and get married often, like all the other Hollywood movie stars?

Wow! I just looked her up in Wiki! What an amazing woman! I never realized just how talented she was! Thanks for posting that question!

Oh... she was only married six times, so I guess my answer was too far off the mark!
