Maximillian Schell was born in Vienna, Austria in 1930 (as a Swiss citizen), and while he never formally immigrated to the United States, he did leave a substantial imprint on Hollywood. Schell won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his work in Judgement at Nuremberg (1961)—the first for a German-speaking actor since World War II. In addition, he received two more Academy Award nominations, for Best Actor in The Man in the Glass Booth (1975) and for Best Supporting Actor in Julia (1977). Schell also served as a guest professor at the University of Southern California and produced a number of operas. He passed away in Innsbruck, Austria in 2014.
