- Robert Morley, Marie-Antoinette, 1938. Accents are accents… She was Austrian, not her husband! For Hollywood, any accent – even Homolka’s heavy Viennese tones – suited Louis XV.
- Akim Tamiroff, For Whom The Bell Tolls,1942. There was a veritable A List for important support roles: Edward Arnold, Wallace Beery, Lee J Cobb, Charles Laughton, Thomas Mitchell and Edward G Robinson. Plus two graduates of Vienna’s Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts: Oscar Homolka and Fritz Kortner – and the Spanish-born opera singer-playwright-novelist-composer Fortunio Bonanova.
