Happy Birthday to an old crush :)
Feb. 27th, 2012 11:40 pmBecause the older I get, the more sentimental I become (surprised, anyone?...;), I just realized today is the 67th (!!!) birthday of a certain Polish actor I had the most severe crush on as a teenager. So I googled him, just in case there actually were some nice pics available (when I searched before, all I could find were relatively recent ones, and he hasn't aged very well... and, sadly, my collection of newspaper clippings from those ancient times when he still looked good never made it across the Atlantic) - and voila! there he is, playing Hamlet back in the sixties:

See the grainy old black-and-white photo?... *gets all teary-eyed* (yes, that was before I was born, I'm not THAT ancient yet...;P)
And then I found this: "One of Poland’s most popular actors Daniel Olbrychski celebrates 50 years on screen" (from last December):

Not bad for 67, if I say so myself.:) Fifty years on screen, and he never lost that crooked smile... Here's to another fifty in good health and spirits (and no, I am not alluding to the legendary fondness for alcohol among Polish actors in general, and this one in particular; or perhaps I am, just a little...;).
And now I really must scamper off to bed... *sigh*
