Dimitris Horn
Dimitris Horn () (9 March 1921 – 16 January 1998) was a Greek theatrical and film performer of modern times. Biography Horn was born in Athens in 1921, the son of playwright Pantelis Horn (himself descended from an Austrian father and Greek mother), and Euterpi, a Pontic Greek. He studied Drama at the National Theatre of Greece Drama School, where he made his stage debut in 1941.

His screen work was less important to him; he disliked cinema, only starring in ten films. H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
