Early life
[ edit ]
Korvin was born in Pöstyén , Austro-Hungary (now Piešťany, Slovakia) and studied at the Sorbonne .[1]
Career
[ edit ]
During his 10 years in France, he was hired by Yvon, the famous French postcard company, shooting photographs on location all over the country. In 1937, he was hired for a CBC documentary film project about the renowned Canadian medical doctor, Norman Bethune . Korvin photographed and co-directed the anti-Franco film, Heart of Spain , which was shot on the front lines during the Spanish Civil War . Moving to the United States in 1940, he studied acting and stagecraft at the Barter Theater in Abingdon, Virginia . [2]
As Géza Korvin , he made his Broadway stage debut in 1943, playing a Russian nobleman in the play, Dark Eyes [3] Universal Pictures , he changed his stage name to Charles Korvin.[citation needed
He worked steadily through the 1940s, including appearing in three films with actress Merle Oberon . He was a victim of the blacklist around 1952, when he refused to testify before the HUAC , and his film career halted.[4]
Turning to the newly burgeoning, and much less political, field of broadcast television, Korvin starred in early productions for Playhouse 90 Studio One US Steel Hour Zorro The Honeymooners Interpol Calling J. Arthur Rank .[5] Rodgers and Hammerstein's The King and I Westbury Music Fair and the St. Louis Municipal Opera Theatre (co-starring Betty White ).[6] Neil Simon’s Tony Award winning play, “Barefoot in the Park ”.[7] Stanley Kramer’s Academy Award winning film, Ship of Fools [8] Lufthansa Airlines .
Personal life
[ edit ]
For more than 25 years Korvin and his wife Anne were part-of-the-year residents in Klosters , Switzerland , where he enjoyed skiing, cooking and entertaining with friends and fellow part time residents Irwin and Marion Shaw , Greta Garbo , Salka Viertel , Deborah Kerr , and Gaetan de Rosnay , among others. Korvin claimed to have been Garbo's last dance partner.[9]
Julia Child , another long time friend, was interviewed in 1978 by Dick Cavett on his PBS television show. When he asked her to name her favorite amateur chef, Child replied, “Charles Korvin”.[10]
