Yul Brynner Interview with Bill Boggs

Yul Brynner (Russian: Юлий Борисович Бринер, Yuliy Borisovich Bryner; July 11, 1920 -- October 10, 1985)[1] was a Russian stage and film actor.[2] He was best known for his portrayal of Mongkut, king of Siam, in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The King and I, for which he won an Academy Award for Best Actor for the film version; he also played the role more than 4,500 times onstage. He is also remembered as Rameses II in the 1956 Cecil B. DeMille blockbuster The Ten Commandments, General Bounine in Anastasia and Chris Adams in The Magnificent Seven. Brynner was noted for his distinctive voice and for his shaven head, which he maintained as a personal trademark long after adopting it for his initial role in The King and I. He was also a photographer and the author of two books. - Wikipedia Footage Owned by Bill Boggs http://www.BillBoggs.com YouTube Managed by Exit 172 Productions, LLC. http://Exit172Productions.com John Hedlund - Owner & Producer [email protected]
