Who played Blofeld in "From Russia with Love"?

We see Blofeld stroking his white cat, but never see his face. The credits don’t identify the actor.

iMDB Trivia section on the movie says Anthony Dawson.

Thanks, pravnik! I checked IMDB but didn’t delve down into the trivia section.

I wished they’d used him (with that voice) for Bloefeld in the later movies. Donald Pleasance was interesting, but the continuity gap seemed awkward.
