MINI BIO:

Kurt Kasznar was a plumpish Austrian-born actor with strikingly dark hair and eyes. He was around the Hollywood (mostly MGM) scene quite a bit in the 1950s, following long stage experience in Europe and, later (from 1936) in America. He ambled amiably through a succession of 'sub-S.Z. Sakall' rolls in musicals, comedies and adventures, providing some attractively fractured English. He was married to actress Leora Dana (second of two wives) from 1950-1958 (divorce).
