Kálmán Rózsahegyi

With his wife, Angéla Hevesi, he founded his own private drama school, which was the place of learning for many famous actors.

Rózsahegyi was one of the most notable representatives of realist theatre; a person who was not an artist of words, but rather of simple, natural and direct plays.

He was an outstanding teacher: many notable actors graduated from his school (such as Róbert Rátonyi, Juci Komlós, and József Sas).

Due to his ancestry he was prevented from acting in the Second World War, and after 1945 Tamás Major forbade him from rejoining the National Theatre.

Kalman Rozsahegyi died on 27 August 1961 in Budapest having become permanent member of the National Theatre, the founder of the School of Acting and an outstanding artist.
