Paul Lukas was born in Budapest, Hungary on May 26, 1894. Public records list Paul Lukas as a screenwriter and film actor. Death is recorded on August 15, 1971, at the age of 77. Awards on record include Academy Award for Best Actor (1944), Golden Globe Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role (1944) and star on Hollywood Walk of Fame.
My Take
What strikes me about Paul Lukas is that he won the very first Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama and an Academy Award in the same year, both for Watch on the Rhine. I find it telling that he carried the role over from the Broadway stage to the screen, because that kind of lived-in ownership of a character usually shows. Born Pal Lukacs in Budapest in 1894, he was a Hungarian who made it in Hollywood at a time when that was rare, and he has a star on the Walk of Fame to prove the staying power. A serious dramatic actor I'd happily revisit.
