The Legend of Turkish cinema -- Mr. Erol Tas

The Legend of Turkish cinema -- Mr. Erol Tas

Mr. Erol Tas was born in the city of Erzurum, which is located in eastern Turkey, on the date of February 28, 1928.  He is an actor that was much liked in Turkey, plus received many recognitions for his 'bad guy' roles.  He acted in over 200 movies, and most of his roles were from the years 1960 to 1975; the panicle years of Yesilcam Sinema (Turkish Cinema).

He was the 'go to' actor when a strong, ruthless, and mean character needed to be played against the protagonist.  The important truth that movie watching public witnessed was that, he always out-played and out-worked all others in the movie; this earned him great respect by everyone.

The one movie that would stand out and show his acting skills was 'Susuz Yaz' (Dry Summer), a link of the movie is hyperlinked below, please take time to watch it.

This movie was filmed in 1964 and won the Golden Bear award in the 14th Berlin International Film Festival.

Mr. Erol Tas died on November 8, 1998 in Istanbul, may he rest in peace.  At a later date, I will add further to this brief essay of his life.

One important date that struck me, while reading about him was that, his date of birth of February 28, coincides with my daughter of Gonul Ezo.  I'm happy to have learned this.

Thank you,

Ben

My Dear Helen

I came by the below information of the actor Peter Cushing.  We all know him as the 'Dracula hunter' and some of us have recognized him in the original 1977 Star Wars movie.

Great actor, he was.   

     Rip Mr Cushing

Here is the information I wanted to bring to everyone's attention.   

In 1971, Mr. Cushing withdrew from the filming of 'Blood from the Mummy's Tomb' following the death of his wife, actress Violet Helene Beck.  He was married to Violet Helene since 1943.  The following year, he was quoted in an interview as having said, "Since Helen passed on I cannot find anything; the heart, quite simply, has gone out of everything.  Time is interminable, the loneliness is almost unbearable and the only thing that keeps me going is the knowledge that my dear Helen and I will be reunited again some day.  To join Helen is my only ambition.  You have my permission to publish that ... really, you know, dear boy, it's all just killing time.  Please say that."

I hope everyone finds their one and only true love, as Mr Cushing, surely knew he had. 

Sincerely.
