My Take
Theodore Bikel had the kind of life that almost feels like several careers stacked together. Born in Vienna in 1924, he fled to Mandatory Palestine as a teenager, trained at Britain's Royal Academy of Dramatic Art, and built stage credits in London and New York before Hollywood embraced him with a Walk of Fame star. What I admire is the range: actor, singer, and tireless political activist, all in one person. He worked right up into his later years and died in 2015. Performers who refuse to be pinned to a single lane tend to age the most gracefully, and Bikel is a textbook example.
