Quand j'ai commencé à m'intéresser à oskar après avoir vu le film "decision before dawn",je me suis dit qu'il devait avoir dans les 80 ans,je me l'imaginais en grand-père, et toujours avec ce charme...alors j'ai fais des recherches sur internet et je suis tombée sur un site avec la date fatidique 1984...puis sur un autre site j'ai vu sa tombe... j'ai été si triste...j'ai pleuré. Amicalement.Corinne My passion for Oskar: I discovered oskar on September 30th, 2007 in the film " decision before dawn " and since, it is the passion!

Corinne, I believe we all share a similar passion for Oskar...Main reason we're all here...It's good to know he is so well loved, even years after his demise...Let's hope he will still be known for another 23 years or more. There's not a day goes by that I do not think of him...He was beautiful...as a personality, as a man (physically), as an actor, as a distinguished man of many talents (not limited to acting), and as a human being...Few could ever measure up to him...Yet...because of his drinking...we are still reminded that he was human, too. I know that some of the people that I've known throughout life...some of the best and most loved, were also alcoholics...They drink because of their pain...but it doesn't stop their greatness...

This is my 5th attempt at joining this thread. I wish someone would tell me how to "close tags." I don't feel comfortable with the term "passionate," so I'll say that I was "bedazzled" by Oskar Werner. What made this lovely man special to me was his cultural heritage (Austria), his high intelligence which translated into genius on film, his lack of "Hollywood macho", and his difficult disposition. Alcohol dulled his senses, which were very intense. I don't wish to have been one of his lovers. I would have loved to have been Oskar's...psychologist!

Hi1
Ferran, I must admit that I got a few chuckles out of your last statement. While we all love Oskar Werner here...it's good to get a good laugh once in a while. And I am sorry that you had so much trouble in starting. But welcome to the forum!
