Peeping Tom Actor Karlheinz Bohm Dies, Aged 86

Actor and humanitarian Karlheinz Böhm died aged 86 near Salzburg. He was born March 16th 1928 in Darmstadt, Germany. His father was the world-famous conductor Karl Böhm. Karlheinz Böhm died aged 86 after a long illness at his home in Grödig, near Salzburg late Thursday, a spokesperson from his aid organization announced on Friday.

From 1948 to 1976 he acted in about 45 films and also in theatre. With Romy Schneider , he starred in the Sissi trilogy as the Emperor Franz Joseph, which limited him to one specific genre as an actor.He made three American films in 1962. He played Jakob Grimm in the 1962 MGM - Cinerama spectacular The Wonderful World of the Brothers Grimm and Ludwig van Beethoven in the Walt Disney film The Magnificent Rebel (The latter film was made especially for the Disney anthology television series , but was released theatrically in Europe) He appeared in a villainous role as the Nazi -sympathizing son of Paul Lukas in the MGM film Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse , a Technicolor , widescreen remake of the 1921 silent Rudolph Valentino film

While he's hardly the British cinema's Thomas Hardy, the Nottinghamshire film-maker Shane Meadows has developed a relationship to his own locality that is rare. Only Bill Forsyth, who, for a while, was the Capra of the Clyde, comes to mind. The underside of small-town Midlands life and the underclass that lives on rundown council estates have provided the subject matter for all his films. Dead Man's Shoes is his most accomplished, though it retains the harsh feeling and rough surface of its predecessors.
