Fan Casting Ernst Stavro Blofeld in Literature

A massive man, perhaps six foot three (190 cm), weighing roughly 280 lbs (140 kg), who had previously been a champion amateur weightlifter in his youth before becoming obese in middle age; black crew-cut hair, black eyes, heavy eyelashes, a thin mouth, and long pointed hands and feet. In "On Her Majesty's Secret Service" he is now thin; having reduced his weight to 170 lb (76 kg); sports long silver hair, a syphilitic infection on his nose, and no earlobes; he wears dark green tinted contact lenses to hide his distinctive eyes. In "You Only Live Twice" he has put on some muscle, and has a gold-capped tooth, a fully healed nose, and a drooping grey mustache.
