about
The world citizen Sir Peter Alexander Ustinov was born in London on the 16th of April in 1921 and died on the 28th of March in 2004 in Genolier, Switzerland.

He spoke English, German, French, Russian, Italian and Spanish fluently and a little bit of Modern Greek and Turkish. He got married three times and had three daughters and one son. For him his creativity as an author was most important. He wrote nine film scripts, more than eleven novels and tale books and over twenty plays. “Beethoven’s Tenth” and “Romanoff and Juliet” were his most famous plays and the film script of “hot millions” was nominated for an Oscar. At the age of 16 he left school and started training to become an actor. After World War II he became famous with the role of the mad emperor Nero in “Quo Vadis” in 1951 and four years later he played in “We’re no Angels”, which became a cult movie. For the roles of slave trader “Lentulus Batiatus” in “Spartacus” from 1961 and the one of “Arthur Simpson” in “Topkapi” in 1964 he won two Oscars.
