Emília Márkus

Emília Márkus, (married name Pulszky; September 10, 1860 – December 24, 1949), was a Hungarian aristocrat, politician and the most renowned actress of her time in Hungary, known for her roles in a number of Hungarian theatrical and film productions, including Three Spinsters (1936), A táncz (1901) and Az aranyhajú szfinksz (1914).

In 1878 she graduated from the Actor's Academy and was immediately contracted by the National Theatre, where she was engaged until her death in 1949.

Károly's family came from Poland and were of French Huguenot descent, but had converted to Catholicism.

Her second daughter, Romola de Pulszky, born on February 19, 1891, married Vaslav Nijinsky.

Károly Pulszky went into exile because of a political scandal associated with art purchases for the gallery, first to London and then to Australia.
