"He would walk in the room and the ladies would straighten the seams in their stockings." "He was drop dead gorgeous," says his widow Niki Dantine. He landed in Los Angeles, enrolled at UCLA, and began his acting career. His family used their political connections to negotiate his release, and immediately sent him to the United States. When the Nazis annexed Austria in March of 1938, they promptly arrested 19-year-old Dantine. Dantine was born in Austria and, as a teenager, became the leader of the anti-Nazi youth movement in Vienna. "When people speak here, the accents are real," says Leslie Epstein, the son and nephew of screenwriters Philip and Julius Epstein. And many of the actors playing those roles were, in fact, refugees.
