This balding, impeccably well-spoken London-born character actor made his name on the Shakespearean stage well before becoming a known quantity on television. Gary was the son of Austrian-Jewish émigrés Siegfried Waldhorn and his wife Liselotte (née Popper). As a youngster, he became enamoured with acting after seeing Richard Burton on stage as Henry V at the Old Vic. After graduating from the Yale School of Drama in 1967, Waldhorn made his theatrical debut as an extra in a National Theatre production of Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead. For several years after, he served his apprenticeship as a small part supporting player. By the early 70s, Waldhorn had established himself as a serious actor, headlining as Milo Tindle in Sleuth (the part played by Michael Caine in the classic film version) at the West End. In 1972, he took the play on the road through Australia and New Zealand, along with Richard Todd, who essayed the role of mystery novelist Andrew Wyke. As a Shakespearean actor, Waldhorn later frequently performed with the Royal Shakespeare Company. Over the years, his roles have included Malvolio in Twelfth Night, Shylock in The Merchant of Venice, Leonato in Much Ado About Nothing, a highly acclaimed title role of Henry V (at the Old Vic, 1996-97) and the King of France in All's Well that Ends Well.
On screen from 1969, Waldhorn appeared in a variety of TV shows, his credits including perennial murder suspect William H. Druitt in the miniseries Jack the Ripper (1973), the diplomat and advisor Marquis de Caulaincourt in Napoleon and Love (1974), Conservative politician Henry 'Chips' Channon in Edward & Mrs. Simpson (1978), as well as recurring roles in the comedies All at Number 20 (1986) and Brush Strokes (1986). He also guested (usually as establishment figures) in diverse genre series, ranging from Space: 1999 (1975) to Robin Hood (1984) and from Rumpole of the Bailey (1978) to Lovejoy (1986) and Heartbeat (1992). In the final analysis, Gary Waldhorn will be most fondly remembered as David Horton, the conservative, wealthy, often starchy chairman of the parish council in the ever-popular sitcom The Vicar of Dibley (1994).
From April 1967 until his passing on January 10 2022, Waldhorn was married to Christie Dickason, playwright, poet, theatre director/choreographer, librettist and author of (to date) nine novels.- Michel Subor was born Mischa Subotzki in Paris, France in 1935, to anti-Bolshevik parents from the Soviet Union who had immigrated a few years earlier. His father was an engineer in Moscow, and his mother was born in Azerbaijan. Michel's sister moved to the United States as an adult. His career started with small roles in Frou-Frou (Augusto Genina, 1955) with Dany Robin, and the comedy Un drôle de dimanche/A Strange Sunday (Marc Allégret, 1958), followed by playing Jean Richard's son in the comedy Mon pote le gitan/My buddy the Gypsy (François Gir, Guy Lionel, 1959). He had his first leading role as the lover of Brigitte Bardot's character in the sexy comedy La Bride sur le Cou/Please, Not Now! (Roger Vadim, 1961). The year before Subor had completed his most important early role in Jean-Luc Godard's Le Petit Soldat/The Little Soldier (1960). The film was banned from release in France for three years because it refers to the use of torture on both the French and Algerian sides during the Algerian struggle for independence. Subor plays Bruno Forestier, a young, disillusioned man who becomes involved in politics, yet in spite of the fact that he stands up to torture and commits murder because of this involvement, he does not have deep political beliefs. Subor also provided the narrator's voice in another classic of the Nouvelle Vague, Jules and Jim (1962) (François Truffaut, 1962).

He grew up with his grandmother in the Bavarian Forest. When he graduated from high school in Cham in 1960, he was adopted by his biological father, to whom his mother, a swimming athlete, was never married. From then on he used the name Achternbusch. After briefly studying at the Munich-Pasing University of Education, Achternbusch moved to the Nuremberg Art Academy in 1961. Then he also studied at the Munich Art Academy. In 1962 Achternbusch married an art teacher. In the following years he made ends meet with odd jobs. He also painted a lot. The couple initially lived in Munich, then in Starnberg, Gauting and, from 1975, in Buchendorf. Achternbusch presented his first publications in the mid-1960s: they were poems and etchings. In 1969 his first book was published under the title "Hülle".
At the beginning of the 1970s, Achternbusch's artistic interest shifted to film. He started making small films. In the 1973/74 film "Overnight in Tirol" by Volker Schlöndorff he played the role of the teacher. In 1974 Achternbusch presented the script for his first film, which was released in cinemas under the title "The Andechser Feeling". The artist made this and the subsequent films himself as a screenwriter, director, leading actor and producer. Achternbusch's films are idiosyncratic works of a high artistic level. They are based on his bizarre prose texts, which he usually has amateur actors interpret in a comical way. The director's home region is discussed in a kind of love-hate relationship with Bavaria, with autobiographical themes also playing a role. Achternbusch gained national fame as a provocative director who liked to break social taboos.
In 1977 he rejected the Petrarch Prize that was intended for him. His films were sometimes subject to censorship measures when they were broadcast on television. The then Bavarian Federal Minister of the Interior refused funding for "The Ghost" (1982). The blasphemy accusations against the film caused a scandal in the Federal Republic of Germany's film world. In addition to his films, Achternbusch also produces plays that he directs himself.- Silvia Tortora was born on 14 November 1962 in Rome, Lazio, Italy.
