Egon Brecher
Oyuncu · 1880 – 1946 · Olmütz, Moravia, Austria-Hungary [now Olomouc, Czech Republic]
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Egon Brecher (18 February 1880 – 12 August 1946) was an Austria-Hungary-born actor and director, who also served as the chief director of Vienna's Stadts Theatre, before entering the motion picture industry. The son of a professor, Brecher began studying philosophy in 1900 at the University of Heidelberg in Germany. He did not finish his studies, deciding to become an actor. He appeared on several provincial stages in Germany and Austria until 1910, and then played in Vienna on various occasions, directed by Josef Jarno until 1921. In 1907, he founded an initiative (which lasted for something like one or two years) to play modern Yiddish theatre in German language with Siegfried Schmitz and members of the student club ‘Theodor Herzl’ like Hugo Zuckermann and Oskar Rosenfeld. In 1919 he was co-founder of the Freie Jüdische Volksbühne in Vienna, a Yiddish theatre, which existed for three years. Then, in 1921, he moved to New York to act on Broadway. He moved to Hollywood in the late 1920s to appear in foreign-language versions of American films. In the mid-1930s he appeared in classic horror films The Black Cat, Werewolf of London, The Black Room, Mark of the Vampire and The Devil-Doll, and worked steadily in the espionage films of the 1930s/40s, his Slavic accent landing him roles both noble and villainous. One of his largest screen roles was in 1946's So Dark the Night. He died later in 1946, aged 66, of a heart attack in Los Angeles, California.

Film7.9GizemRomantikGenç bir kadın aşık olduğu yakışıklı Maxim De Winter'la evlendikten bir süre sonra Maxim'in eski eşi Rebecca'nın birkaç ay önce gizemli bir şekilde ölmüş olduğunu öğrenir ve kocası ile olan ilişkisinin her zaman Rebecca'nın gölgesinde kalacağını farkeder. Film boyunca adı telafuz edilmeyen kadın, aynı zamanda kendisini evin yeni kadını olarak kabul etmek istemeyen hizmetçi Mrs. Danvers'ın kıskanç ve takıntılı tavırları ile başa çıkmak zorundadır. Alfred Hitchcock'un Daphne Du Maurier'ın bir romanından uyarladığı Rebecca yönetmenin aynı zamanda ilk Amerikan yapımı filmi olma özelliğini taşıyor. 1940'ta En İyi Film dalında Akademi Ödülü'nü kazanan filmin yapımcısı David Selznick'in bir önceki filmi Rüzgar Gibi Geçti de, aynı dalda ödül sahibi olmuş ve efsaneleşmişti.
