Emil Fenyő(1889-1980)
- Actor
- Director
A pioneer of Hungarian film arts. For the first time he stood in front
of a camera together with his brother, Aladár Fenyõ in 1912 in the
photographic studio of Ödön Uher in the Lajos Kossuth street, where
they shot the social drama Nõvérek (1912). He is a popular actor of the
first half of the silent era. In the period of decline he entered into
engagement with the Emelka factory in Munich, then he played at home
again. In the sound picture era he plays mostly episode characters, but
he is among the few who served steadily our film making for more then
half a century. He directed twice.
