Description
"Peter Lorre (born Laszlo Lowenstein; 26 June 1904 - 23 March 1964) was an Austro-Hungarian-American actor. In Austria, he began his stage career in Vienna before moving to Germany where he had his breakthrough, first on the stage, then in film in Berlin in the late 1920s and early 1930s. Lorre caused an international sensation in the German film M (1931), in which he portrayed a serial killer who preys on little girls.
Laszlo's mother died when he was only four years old, leaving Alajos with three very young sons, the youngest only a couple of months old. He soon married his wife's best friend Melanie Klein, with whom he had two more children. However, Lorre and his stepmother never got along, and this colored his childhood memories. At the outbreak of the Second Balkan War in 1913, Alajos moved the family to Vienna, anticipating that this would lead to a larger conflict and that he would be called up. He was serving on the Eastern Front during the winter of 1914-1915 before being put in charge of a prison camp due to heart trouble."
