Hungarian actor

László Szilassy (February 13, 1908 – March 30, 1972) was a Hungarian film actor.[1][2][3] Beginning his career on the stage, he emerged as a popular leading man in cinema during the late 1930s and appeared in more than 40 films by the end of the Second World War. He then emigrated to Brazil, also spending many years in Argentina where he continued to act in the theatre but no longer appeared on screen. Like many film figures of the Miklós Horthy era he was unwelcome in postwar Communist Hungary.
