I am pleased to announce the publication PAUL HENREID, the 31st play in THE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS collection.
Although he had a long career as an actor and director, Paul Henreid is
certainly best remembered for two films he made in the early 1940s: NOW,
VOYAGER with Bette Davis, and CASABLANCA with Humphrey Bogart and
Ingrid Bergman.
Born in Trieste and raised in Vienna, Henreid began his acting career
under the direction of legendary director Max Reinhardt, but left the
European continent when the Nazis came to power.
In England, he found work on both stage (VICTORIA REGINA) and in films (GOODBYE, MR CHIPS, NIGHT TRAIN TO MUNICH).

However, after Hitler invaded Austria,
his status in the U.K. became tenuous.
He took his first opportunity
to move to the United States where his film career flourished…until he
and other Hollywood folk opposed the House Committee on Un-American
Activities.
