Dimitris Horn Date of birth (location) 1921, in Athens, Greece Date of death (details) 16 January 1998 in Athens, Greece. (alzheimer's disease) Mini biography Dimitris Horn was born in 1921, in Athens, Greece Brief biography Dimitris Horn was born in 1921, in Athens, Greece. His father was Pantelis Horn, a well-known Greek playwright. He studied at the Drama School of the National Theater of Greece, where he made his stage debut in 1941. He collaborated with the National Theater many times in his career, but also made personal stage groups with famous actors, like 'Mary Aroni' , Alekos Alexandrakis and Ellie Lambeti, who also was his life companion for some years (1953 - 1958). He soon established a reputation as the best actor of his generation, giving solid performances in such classics as Gogol's "The Diary of a Madman" (title role), Shakespeare's "Richard III" (title role), Molière's "Don Juan" (title role), Pirandello's "Henry IV" (title role). etc. Equally important was his screen work; he starred in only 10 films, but most of them have attained legendary status, like _Kalpiki lira (1954)_ and Koritsi me ta mavra, To (1956). He died in 1998, but will always be fondly remembered as the "jeune premier par excellence" of the Greek stage and screen. |
