Erzsi Péchy (Székelyhíd, 26 April 1888 - Budapest, 19 July 1933) was a Hungarian stage and screen actress and operetta primadonna.
Born in Székelyhíd in an old noble family, Péchy went to school in Oradea and Cluj, then went to Budapest and studied singing with Vilmos Vilmos Maleczky and later with Teréz V. Krammer. In 1912 she graduated from the acting school of Kálmán Rózsahegyi and was then engaged by László Beöthy to the King's Theatre, where she had her first successes as Mimosa in The Geisha on 4 June 1912 and later in Die Kinokönigin. She then became a member of the Modern Stage. On 21 June 1918, she had great success at the Vígszínház Comedy Theatre as Madi/Mady in Das Dreimäderlhaus, and at the Városi Színház, where she was a decisive success in the operetta Baroness Lili. In September 1920 she was back at the King's Theatre, where she made her first appearance in The Utah Girl. She was also primadonna of the Revue Theatre.
On 13 March 1923, the Royal Hungarian Opera House staged Péchy in the role of Rózsi Friquet in "The Hermit's Bell", and here too she was an excellent member of the ensemble. By this time her reputation had spread abroad and on 14 September this year she was invited to the Johann Strauss Theater in Vienna, where she delighted the Viennese in the operetta "Ein Märchen aus Florenz".She also performed at the City Theatre, the Scala Theatre and the Blaha Lujza Theatre.On 23 May 1925, she performed Offenbach's "La belle Hélène" in French at the soirée of the French Embassy in Budapest.For this great artistic success she was appointed an officer of the French Academy by minister Daladier.
In 1927 Péchy was a guest at the King's Theatre in London, then again a member of the King's Theatre. She was then back in London as a member of the Royal Opera House in 1927. In February 1928 she triumphed with the operetta "Countess Eve" at the King's Theatre. She performed there until 1931. In 1932 she made a guest appearance in Berlin, and retired that year. In the summer of 1930 she was on his way to Fonyód in her new car when she had an accident. Paramedics from Kanizsa took the primadonna to the hospital in Székesfehérvár. After her hospital treatment she recovered in her villa in Fonyód. She died at the Verebély Clinic on the evening of Wednesday 19 July 1933.
Péchy's first husband was Károly Jónás, a Hungarian State Railways officer, whom she met in Székelyhíd. From this marriage she had a daughter, Juci Jónás. After divorcing her first husband, she married Baron Leó Garibaldi in Budatétény on 19 November 1931. The wedding took place in complete secrecy, to the complete exclusion of the public, and was a surprise not only in the theatre world but also in the society of Pest. Her sisters were Maca Péchy Maca and Babi Péchy.
Péchy acted in three films: Autogram Lili (Jenõ Gábor, 1917), starring Sundi Toronyi, Tüzpróba/ Fire test (Lajos Lázár, 1918) with Ottó Torday and Helene von Bolvary, and Nevetö Budapest/ Laugh Budapest (Gusztáv Mihály Kovács, 1930).

German collectors Autogram card by Bravo. Robin Williams in Mork & Mindy (1978-1982).
American comedian and actor Robin Williams (1951-2014) began his career in the mid-1970s as a stand-up comedian in comedy clubs in San Francisco and Los Angeles. Williams was known for his many impersonations and the different voices he used during his performances. He became famous as the alien Mork in the TV series Mork & Mindy (1978-1982). After three Oscar nominations, he won the award for his supporting role in Good Will Hunting (1997). He also received acclaim for films like Good Morning, Vietnam (1987), The Fisher King (1991), Aladdin (1992), Mrs Doubtfire (1993) and One Hour Photo (2002).
Robin McLaurin Williams was born in 1951, in Chicago, Illinois. His mother, Laurie McLaurin (née Janin), was a former model, and his father, Robert Fitzgerald Williams, was a Ford Motor Company executive. Williams was described as hyperactive in his youth. He developed his talent for making people laugh through stand-up comedy, among other things. Robin briefly studied political science at Claremont Men's College and theatre at College of Marin before enrolling at The Juilliard School to focus on theatre. After leaving Juilliard, he performed in nightclubs where he was discovered for the role of Mork, from Ork, in an episode of the TV series Happy Days (1974). The episode, Happy Days: My Favorite Orkan (1978), led to his famous spin-off weekly TV series, Mork & Mindy (1978-1982). He made his feature starring debut playing the title role in Popeye (1980), directed by Robert Altman. Williams' continuous comedies and wild comic talents involved a great deal of improvisation, following in the footsteps of his idol Jonathan Winters. Good Morning, Vietnam (Barry Levinson, 1987) was an important film in Williams' career, as most of the humorous radio broadcasts in it were improvised by him on the spot. This led to Williams' first nomination for an Oscar, that for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Williams proved to be an effective dramatic actor, also receiving Academy Award nominations for Best Actor in a Leading Role in Dead Poets Society (Peter Weir, 1989), and The Fisher King (Terry Gilliam, 1991) opposite Jeff bridges, before winning the Academy Award for Best Actor in a Supporting Role in Good Will Hunting (Gus Van Sant, 1997), starring Matt Damon.
During the 1990s, Robin Williams became a beloved hero to children the world over for his roles in a string of hit family-oriented films, including Hook (Steven Spielberg, 1991) opposite Dustin Hoffman, Mrs. Doubtfire (Chris Columbus, 1993) with Sally Field, Jumanji (Joe Johnston, 1995), The Birdcage (Mike Nichols, 1996), and Flubber (Les Mayfield, 1997). Disney asked him to play the voice of the genie in the animated film Aladdin (Ron Clements, John Musker, 1992). The writers had conceived and developed the character with Williams in mind, even before asking him for the role. At the time, it was not very common for well-known Hollywood actors to perform a voice in films. Williams agreed on the condition that Disney would not use his name or voice afterwards for marketing campaigns or sell merchandise. At first, Disney kept that agreement but later broke its promise because of the popularity of the film and the genie character. When the makers came up with a second film, The Return of Jafar (1994), Williams refused to perform the voice of the genie again. It wasn't until a third Aladdin film, Aladdin and the King of Thieves (Tad Stones, 1996), that the dispute was settled and Williams once again stepped into the role of Genie. Williams continued entertaining children and families into the 21st century with his work in Robots (Chris Wedge, Carlos Saldanha, 2005), Happy Feet (George Miller, 2006), and Night at the Museum (Shawn Levy, 2006). Other more adult-oriented films for which Williams received acclaim include The World According to Garp (George Roy Hill, 1982), Moscow on the Hudson (Paul Mazursky, 1984), Awakenings (Penny Marshall, 1990) with Robert De Niro, Insomnia (Christopher Nolan, 2002), and One Hour Photo (Mark Romanek, 2002). In 2009, Williams underwent heart surgery. After 30 years, he played another role in a television series, The Crazy Ones (2014) with Sarah Michelle Gellar. In 2014, Robin Williams was found dead at his home in Tiburon, California USA, the victim of an apparent suicide. The actor had been struggling with alcohol addiction for decades and had been depressed for some time, according to his spokeswoman. Three days after his death, his widow stated that he had recently known he was suffering from Parkinson's disease. Williams was cremated a day after his death and his ashes were scattered in San Francisco Bay. After his death, the line "Oh captain, my captain" from the film Dead Poets Society became a tribute to Williams for many fans. Robin Williams was married three times, to Valerie Velardi (1978-1988, 1 child), Marsha Garces Williams (1989- 2010, 2 children) and to Susan Schneider (2011-2014, his death). His children are Zak, Zelda and Cody Williams.

In 1953, he made his film debut at the side of Johannes Heesters in Liebeskrieg nach Noten/Love War for notes (Karl Hartl, 1953). He also appeared opposite Hardy Krüger and Ruth Leuwerik in Muss man sich gleich scheiden lassen? More supporting roles followed which made him known to a wider audience. In total he appeared in more than 40 films, including Junger Mann, der alles kann (Thomas Engel, 1957) with Georg Thomalla, Bezaubernde Arabella (Axel von Ambesser, 1959) starring Johanna von Koczian and Carlos Thompson, and Lemke's sel.

Vor drei Tagen kam Post vom 'Bundesbeauftragten fuer die Unterlagen des Staatssicherheitsdienstes der ehemaligen Deutschen Demokratischen Republik' - kurz: meine Stasi-Akte - oder das, was davon bereits aufbereitet wurde. Die Tatsache, dass meine Briefe, die ich als 10-Jaehrige in den Westen schrieb, geoeffnet und fein saeuberlich archiviert wurden, hat doch einen gewissen Unterhaltungswert, und nun uebrrascht es mich auch gar nicht mehr, dass ich nie ein Autogram als Antwort auf meine Fan-Briefe an die Pet Shop Boys bekam...
Nearly two years after applying to see files possibly held on me by the former Eastern German Ministerium fur Staatssicherheit - Secret Police (or "Stasi", as they may be bettter known), I recveived an unexpected letter the other day.
It appears our family has been surveyed (no surprise there, then) since the mid-1970's, and even schoolgirl letters (mine) and mum's correspondence to a very old auntie were intercepted - and neatly filed in some office somewhere -perhaps like the one we visited in Leipzig back in 1980 - once a district Stasi administration centre, now a monument. The logical next step would be to apply to see the file of my dear departed father, who, although of working class origin, had more than his fair share of run-ins with the ruling party. Of course, chances are, I may discover something deeply unpleasant. But when we search for truth, is it right to hesitate just here?
Should I dig deeper or let the past be?

German autogram card by Kino, ca. 1989.
French actor Pierre Richard (1934) became popular as a clumsy daydreamer in comedy films of the 1970s. Richard is best known internationally as the star of the zany spy farce Le Grand Blond Avec Une Chassure Noire/The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe (1972) and for his hilarious comedies with Gérard Dépardieu. He also wrote and directed several films himself.
Pierre Richard was born Pierre Richard Maurice Charles Leopold Defays in Valenciennes, France, in 1934. His family was upper-class with an embarrassing riches of middle names. He started his acting career at the theatre and and build up his trade at the Paris Music Hall. In 1958, he made his film debut in a small, uncredited part in the French-Italian drama Les Amants de Montparnasse/The Lovers of Montparnasse (Jacques Becker, 1958), which chronicles the last year of the life of the Italian painter Amedeo Modigliani (Gérard Philipe) who worked and died in poverty in the Montparnasse Quarter of Paris. Ten years later followed the comedy Alexandre le bienheureux/Very Happy Alexander (Yves Robert, 1968), starring Philippe Noiret, in which Richard played a secondary role toward the end of the plot. Two years later he directed and starred in the comedy Le Distrait/The Daydreamer (Pierre Richard, 1970), co-starring Marie-Christine Barrault and Bernard Blier. The film combines elements of a slapstick, horror and romantic comedy. Richard plays Pierre Malaquet, an eccentric and extremely absent-minded advertising manager. Two years later followed the comedy Les malheurs d'Alfred/The Troubles of Alfred (Pierre Richard, 1972). Alfred (Pierre Richard) is an unemployed architect who is incredibly unlucky, and when he tries to commit suicide, he meets a female television presenter (Anny Duperey) who is pursued by the same misfortune. That same year, he had his international breakthrough with the comedy hit Le grand blond avec une chaussure noire/The Tall Blond Man with One Black Shoe (1972), directed by Yves Robert and written by Francis Veber. Richard played a naive, innocent concert musician plucked by chance to become a superspy on a top secret mission. The same team made also the sequel, Le retour du grand blond/The Return of the Tall Blond Man (Yves Robert, 1974). Le Grand Blond avec une chaussure noire was remade in English as The Man with One Red Shoe (Stan Dragoti, 1985) with Tom Hanks. Richard also appeared in several other comedies, frequently teamed with Aldo Maccione. Gary Brumburgh at IMDb: “his characters often have taken on an hilariously guileless persona and, coupled with his innate gift for klutzy physical comedy, have become an audience favorite for nearly four decades.”
Francis Veber cast Pierre Richard while directing his own first feature film: Le Jouet/The Toy (Francis Veber, 1976) with Michel Bouquet. The film was remade in Hollywood as The Toy (Richard Donner, 1982) starring Richard Pryor. Veber and Richard had a long and successful partnership during the 1980s, highlighted by three comedies – La Chèvre/Knock on Wood (Francis Veber, 1981), Les Compères/ComDads (Francis Veber, 1983) and Les Fugitifs/The Fugitives (Francis Veber, 1986) – which paired Richard as a comic duo with Gérard Depardieu. All three were remade in Hollywood, the latter as Three Fugitives (1989), also directed by Veber and starring Nick Nolte and Martin Short. However, the many Hollywood remakes and imitations of the films with Richard mostly pale compared to the originals. Pierre Richard again moved behind the camera to direct On peut toujours rêver/One Can Always Dream (1991) and Droit dans le mur/Straight into the Wall (1997), a dramatic commercial and critical failure. In 2006 the Académie des Arts et Techniques du Cinema awarded him a lifetime achievement César. In addition to being an actor and film director Pierre Richard is also a businessman. He owns the restaurant Au pied de chameau in Paris and a 20-hectare vineyard in Southern France which produces some 80,000 bottles a year, including some 12,000 bottles of rosé labelled as le Bel Évêque. If he is not overseeing his wine business on location, he lives in Paris. He used to live for many years on a barge on the Seine in the center of Paris. Pierre Richard married and divorced three times, and has two sons: Olivier and Christoph, who are both musicians. Olivier is a group member of Blues trottoir and plays the saxophone whereas Christophe plays the double bass. His grandson, Arthur Defays, is a model and a young actor. Richard is still very productive in the cinema and one his more recent films is Et si on vivait tous ensemble?/All Together (Stéphane Robelin, 2011) with Geraldine Chaplin and Jane Fonda.
