Tzone: Yul Brynner was in a lot of movies including "The Magnificient Seven" and "The Ten Commandments" etc.
He won an Oscar for the film version of The King & I.
And he was born in Russia so maybe he did not know how to handle success?
Maybe you remember the TV commercials where Yul Brynner begged folks "Just don't smoke"! - he had died of lung cancer and wanted the commercial ran only after his death. It ran a long time on TV IIRC.
