Radmila Savicevic, Pavle Vuisic and Stevo Zigon were born in the same year – 1926 and belonged to the generation of actors who marked the golden age of Yugoslav film, television and theatre. Although their acting styles were different, they all had in common an exceptional charisma and the ability to make ordinary characters unforgettable.
Radmila Savicevic, born in Krusevac, is considered one of the symbols of Yugoslav acting. With her immediacy, wit, warmth, kindness and energy, she won the hearts of the entire nation. She became famous for her roles as strong, temperamental and often witty women from the people, which she interpreted with great naturalness. The audience especially remembers her for her roles in series and films such as "Truck Drivers", "Hot Wind" and "Better Life", where her authentic speech and facial expressions gave the characters special credibility and made them unforgettable and recognizable
Pavle Vuisic was born in Belgrade, known for avoiding the media and fame, although he was extremely popular. With his immediacy, he often acted without much "acting", relying on the naturalness and personal experience of the character. Before his acting career, he tried to study law and journalism. He often refused even the best film offers in order to stay afloat and enjoy his boat. His special characteristic is that he did not like acting. Although he achieved enormous success, he remained modest and consistent with himself, which is why the audience still particularly appreciates him today. He is best remembered for his roles in films such as "Who's Singing Over There", "Marathon Runners Run the Circle of Honor" and the TV series "Truck Drivers"...
Stevo Zigon was born in Ljubljana. Although he found happiness throughout his life, gained great fame and left behind a rich career, his upbringing was extremely difficult. He spent two years in a Nazi camp in Germany where, in addition to the hell he went through, he learned the German language, which is why he later often got strong roles as officers of the Third Reich. Although, he completely found himself in the world of acting, where he showed exceptional expressiveness and intellectual depth, with strong stage energy. Over the years, however, he acted less and less and directed more. The audience remembers him best for the TV series " The Outcasts" and " Return of the Outcasts". He was a consistent man and often said what most people thought, but didn't dare say it publicly...

Marilyn Monroe was born in 1926 in Los Angeles. She spent most of her childhood in a total of 12 foster homes and an orphanage before marrying James Doherty at the age of sixteen. She was working in a factory during World War II when she met a photographer and began a successful career as a pin-up model, which led to short-lived film contracts. Known for playing comedic "sexy blonde" characters, she became one of the most popular sex symbols of the 1950s and early 1960s. She was the highest-paid actress for the entire decade. Although her films were mostly commercial but not critical hits, Monroe was one of the biggest movie stars of the 1950s. She is best known for her roles in the comedies "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes", "How to Marry a Millionaire", "The Prince and the Dancer" and "Monkey Business". The highlight of her career is considered to be the film "Some Like It Hot", for which she received a Golden Globe for Best Actress. Her life ended tragically at the age of 36, and the police at the time listed a barbiturate overdose as the official cause of death. Although this official version was long considered final, the circumstances of her death continue to raise doubts around the world.
Clark Gable, born in 1901 in Cadiz, Ohio, is considered an icon of 20th-century Hollywood. In 1928, he made his Broadway debut. He moved to Hollywood in 1930. The famous film company MGM first rejected him, then accepted him, and within his first year he began playing leading romantic roles. He became famous with the film "It Happened One Night," for which he won an Oscar in 1934. His carefree charm and special masculinity appealed to both men and women. Gable became known as "The King." Of the seventy films he made, "Mutiny on the Bounty," "San Francisco," and "Saratoga" stand out. His most famous film is the classic "Gone with the Wind." After the death of his third wife, Carole Lombard, Clark Gable became disillusioned with the film industry and then joined the United States Air Force. Although the films in which he appeared after his return were not critically acclaimed, they were successful at the box office.
