Live and act

Emil Fried, born in the southern Hungarian (today: northern Serbian) province, received his artistic training at the Budapest Academy of Arts until 1909. His early engagements took Fried, who from then on chose the less Jewish-sounding stage name Fenyő, to Großwardein (now Oradea in Romania) and Subotica (near his birthplace in what is now northern Serbia) until 1911. From 1911 to 1912 he was also employed in Pressburg, today's Slovak capital, Bratislava. From 1913 to 1916 Fenyő performed at the theater in Miskolc. In 1917 he became a member of the Budapest Comedy Theater ( Vígszínház ), in 1921 a member of the Royal Orfeum of the Hungarian capital.

In the same year Emil Fenyő turned his back on his fatherland, which was becoming increasingly anti-Semitic under the leadership of Admiral Horthy, and went to Germany. In Munich, the artist, who is already quite experienced in film, appeared in front of the camera for a number of Emelka productions, which, from an artistic point of view, are rather meaningless. Until he finally left Germany again in 1928, Emil Fenyő kept returning to Budapest for one or two film roles. Until 1938 the anti-Semitic legislation imposed by Hitler's Germany-Hungary came into effect, Fenyő appeared both in front of the camera and in the theater. Proof of permanent stage engagements at the Chamber Theater (1932/33) and at the Budapest Operetta Theater (1934). From 1936 to 1938 he was a member of the Belvárosi Színház and the Art Theater. This was followed by a seven-year performance ban. During this time Fenyő was involved in the Jewish cultural association of Hungary, Omike, which existed until 1944 .

The boycott of Fenyő was only lifted with the elimination of fascism in Hungary in 1945. In 1948 he followed a call to the Modern Theater (Modern Színházban), and again to the Art Theater the following year. From 1950 to 1964 Emil Fenyő was a member of the National Theater ensemble. He did not take on a permanent engagement since 1964, but remained on stage until 1974 and also worked with small roles in one or the other film and television productions. Fenyő's best-known theater roles include Liliom in the Franz Molnar play of the same name, the judge Hathorne in Arthur Miller's witch hunt , title hero William Rice in John Osborne's The Entertainer and in Shakespeare's Hamlet the Priest, Richard III. the Lord Lovel and in Antony and Cleopatra Diomedes.

Emil Fenyő was married three times.
