Actor Victor Varconi was born as Mihaly Barconyi in Kisvard, Hungary on March 31, 1891. He died from a heart attack on June 6, 1976. He was a highly successful silent film star in Hungary and was the first Hungarian actor to make a film in the U.S. He worked under contract to Cecil B. DeMille, and played Pontius Pilate in DeMille's 1927 production of The King of Kings. Varconi's popularity waned with the advent of the talkie, and he worked on the New York stage and wrote for radio.
