Actor Born: 1918 in Petrograd, Russia (now St. Petersburg) Death: February 16, 2000 Biography:Born in Russia during the second year of the communist regime, actress "Lila Kedrova" has spent most of her life in France. After spending a decade establishing herself in European films and theatrical productions, Kedrova won an Academy Award for her first English-speaking role: fading courtesan Madame Hortense in 1964's "Zorba the Greek" (she replaced "Simone Signoret", who withdrew shortly after shooting started). She would go on to win a Tony nomination when she reprised Hortense for the Broadway musical Zorba, again co-starring with "Anthony Quinn". Appearing in fewer and fewer films as the 1970s became the 1980s (sometimes there were four-year gaps between her pictures), "Lila Kedrova" won the Golden Mask award at the Taorima Film Festival for her portrayal of a terminally ill woman in the American "Tell Me a Riddle" (1980). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
