He's birth name was Löwenstein László. Hungarians never could do much right but they did have loads of first rate actors, directors and cinematographers
even those who didn't end up in Hollywood
-
Yes. Just finished The Lost One. Wonderful book. Now re-reading A Talent For Genius, the marvelous bio on Oscar Levant. I also recommend Michael Powell's two autobios. (Red Shoes, Black Narcissus, etc.)
-
@sclogse1 That's from Passage to Marseille. Have you read his biography, The Lost One?
-
If I may be so impertinent, what film is that with the zoom in on him lighting the cigarette at 1:46?
(I've spent about two months reading and watching everything on Lorre I could get my hands on...and I've had a blast.) (yes including all of Mr Moto)

HOLY CRAP HIS FACE REALLY DOSE LOOK LIKE THAT! Those WARNER BROTHER cartoons weren't lying. lol
-
he was a chain smoker :)
-
@Heralde8 Sad but true my friend.
-
@GanarfGeorgie The whole thing was pretty unbelievable just after WWII. The book talks about how Peter was trying to remain loyal to Brecht but also trying to keep his job at Warner Brothers. It was a difficult time for a lot of people.
-
@Heralde8 Thanks Heralde8!
I remember reading somewhere Brecht during the witch hunt era saying (to a college)
"I have escaped the tigers only to be eaten up by fleas!"( I.e. escaped the Nazis only to be harassed by McCarthy and his goons.) Man, sometimes real life is scarier than any monster movie.
-
@GanarfGeorgie Yup that's right, Peter and Brecht were very good friends both while in Germany and America. Peter's biography talks about the difficulty they had during the Communist witch hunt years.

It may be odd, but I find him quite attractive.

That's weird I thought Lorre was at Lugosi's funeral because he turned to Vincent Price and said "We should drive a stake through his heart just in case." at least that's what I heard but I find it quite odd that Karloff didn't show up because although their relationship was rocky at first they in the end did become good friends. Hmm...weird...but I am sure Lorre and Price did go to Lugosi's funeral.

Neither Lorre nor Price were on the guest book for Bela's funeral.
