BIOGRAPHY:

[no bio found]


TRIVIA:
  • Father of 'Danny Opatoshu' (qv)
  • Received his start in the New York Yiddish theater. His first film, _The Light Ahead (1939)_ (qv), was all-Yiddish.
  • Delivered the evening news in Yiddish on New York radio during the war years on WEVD.
  • Son of 'Joseph Opatoshu' (qv), a prominent Yiddish novelist and short-story writer.
  • Father-in-law of 'Anne Spielberg' (qv).
  • His dark, balding, slightly swarthy features made him a versatile character player, either the perfect ethnic villain in crimers or the epitome of saintliness in bible stories. He was often utilized playing wise, often beleaguered Jewish pops.
