I've added a theatre work section, though at the moment it only has one entry, making it look faintly ridiculous. As I work my way through the Brecht plays, I'll be adding more. DionysosProteus 02:44, 26 August 2007 (UTC)
Homolka's strong European accent,...
There is no such thing as an "European accent". Europe has many different languages, and, therefore, many different accents. -- Maxl ( talk) 09:46, 3 April 2009 (UTC)
Why is this articled titled "Oscar Homolka"? Shouldn't it be "Oskar Homolka" in line with the name's usage in the text, with both Interwiki articles, and even with IMDb? -- Michael Bednarek ( talk) 10:58, 17 September 2009 (UTC)
“Homolka's strong accent, stocky appearance, bushy eyebrows and Slavic-sounding name led many to believe he was Eastern European or Russian, but he was born in Vienna, Austria–Hungary.”
“After the Nazi rise to power, Homolka moved to Britain and later was one of many Jewish actors and theatrical people who fled Europe for the United States.”
Well, if you go by the last name, his background must have been Czech, because Homolka is a typical Czech name. Considering that he was born in Vienna during the Austro-Hungarian times, it is easy to assume that, indeed, he was Czech. Norum 06:42, 21 February 2011 (UTC)
According to Homolka's own account, he... starred in the first talking picture ever made there [Germany].
The result of the move request was: Moved. ( non-admin closure) – Ammarpad ( talk) 20:14, 17 June 2018 (UTC)
Oskar Homolka → Oscar Homolka – Although listed as "Oskar" at IMDb, Homolka lived for over four decades in the English-speaking world where he used the form "Oscar". All other references list him as "Oscar" — British Film Institute, American Film Institute, Turner Classic Movies, AllMovie, Film Reference, TVGuide and, most tellingly, his gravestone at Find a Grave.
