Yul Brynner (Юлий Борисович Бринер, 1920–1985) was a Russian-born United States-based film and stage actor. He was best known for his portrayal of the King Mongkut of Siam in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical The King and I. He played the role 4,625 times on stage and won two Tony Awards. For the film version, The King and I (Walter Lang, 1956), he also won the Academy Award. He quickly gained superstar status with his roles as Rameses II in the blockbuster The Ten Commandments (Cecil B. DeMille, 1956) and General Bounine in the historical drama Anastasia (Anatole Litvak, 1956) opposite Ingrid Bergman, and made the 'Top 10 Stars of the Year' list in both 1957 and 1958. Later roles include Chris Adams in the Western The Magnificent Seven (John Sturges, 1960) and a gunslinger robot in the Science fiction Western-thriller Westworld (Michael Crichton, 1973). Brynner was noted for his distinctive voice and for his shaved head, which he maintained as a personal trademark long after adopting it in 1951 for his role in The King and I. Earlier, he was a model and television director, and later a photographer and the author of two books. Brynner married four times, and had a long affair with Marlene Dietrich.
