Michael Chekhov is generally acknowledged as one of the greatest actors of the 20th century. Born in Russia in 1891, he was one of the prominent members of the Moscow Art Theatre's First Studio and in the 1920s he directed the Second Studio himself. The political turbulence of his times took him from Russia to Germany, France, Latvia and Lithuania, the UK and America, working for a period in Hollywood. He died in 1955 in Los Angeles, aged 64.
