Zoltán Latinovits died 45 years ago, on June 4, 1976, at just 44 years old, his still unclear death contributes to his legend. Despite his short life, the Kossuth and Jászai Mari Award-winning Actor King left behind a rich legacy, countless unforgettable films (Sindbád, Isten bózta mr.!, The Fifth Seal) and theater performances. Few people are able to recite, say, understand and live a poem the way he could.
"I came into the world with broken light shells, superstitious grasses, flower petals, devil's grimace, round witch pebbles. I carried with me a cave-dim drawing of clouds, suns, and the sparks of stars, started winding lines, small convulsive circles, unfinished curves. Weird Mowgli, I was almost born in the Zoo, but I was born a little earlier, right above Uncle Gyula Krúdy's beer garden table, in the restaurant of my unforgettable grandfather, Károly Gundel, during lunch break, at half past one. "September 9, 1931 was written on the wall calendars of the House of Work and Dignity," wrote Zoltán Latinovits as a confession in his book "Ködszurkáló", which was repeatedly teased and "silenced" for a long time.
Only one of his stage recordings has survived, Mario and the Wizard, where Cipolla, in the role of Cipolla, demonstrates the hypnosis of demonic power with amazing dramatic power, typical of his time! The Kádár-Azéli dictatorship did not even like him and was very afraid of him. Therefore, their cultural leaders tried to distance themselves even more from him in his sensitive state, which eventually led to his death. In the year of the regime change, he could only receive a posthumous Kossuth award.
There is no deal, let me be happy - he said the lines of Attila József so many times! This is how we always remember him!
