Possible cousins...
Hi! Everyone. I see no one has written for a while, other than myself. Do any of you know if Oskar had any cousins? Aunts? Uncles? Relatives other than his mother and grandmother, who was so much a part of his life. Also, I know I've seen it somewhere, but can't recall just where. Just what part of Wien did Oskar grow up? I'm sure some of you can tell me...It may be here somewhere on forum. Thanks! Have a great day! Ms. Waldron

Hi Sandra, As for aunts or uncles... I can not remember any, but, well, I may have forgotten about them... Oskar grew up in Wien Mariahilf, the 6th district of Vienna. Bye* Nici

Dear Forum members, OW had an uncle Named Franz (Zelta) Best wishes, Tina

Dear forum members, I believe that OW's uncle Franz was helpful in getting OW small parts at the very beginning of his career, when he was still a teenager. Perhaps you could confirm this Pamela. Best regards to all, Tina

Yes, his "Onkle Franz" got him some small non-speaking parts in some films when he was still very young. Probably the most well known of these was his part as a bell boy in a film called "Hotel Sacher." His very first "stage" part occurred while he was still in school. He played a small part then as well but remembered, having already made up his mind to become an actor, his line. It was, "Wo breannt?" "Where's the fire?" (I admit I may have not remembered the spelling correctly!) By the way, welcome to the Forum, Tina!

If you have further questions about Oskar's early life and career, especially the stage. Please look for my Biography in English, originally part of this Forum. It can be found under "Oskar Werner Biography."

OMG; yes, you're right. I said, I surely forgot it. Nah, too much needs it's space in my head... ;)

Thanks...
Thank you, Nici, Pamela, Tina...your responses have been most helpful and appreciated. I now remember reading something about this uncle, now that my memory has been stirred. Again...I thank all of you for your answers.
