Oscar Beregi (24 January 1876 – 18 October 1965)

Oscar Beregi Sr.
Oscar Beregi was a theater and movie actor. He is mostly known as Isadora Duncan's boyfriend, whom she named in her autobigraphy as  Romeo (later he became top-Sheakspearean actor).In English resources not much was written about him. But here what I have found out. He was born  on  24 Janaury, 1876, in Budapest. From the young age he was gifted with acting talent, that's why,as a teen, he was hired to the theatre by the director of the country's finest troupe. At school he was a bad student, but  was a good athlet. In 1899 he became a member of the National Theatre in Budapest. He studied in University of Budapest on the philosophical faculty. In 1919  left  Hungary becuse of the revolutionary events and went to Vienna.
