Iván Petrovich, a renowned actor of great distinction, was born on the auspicious date of January 1, 1896, in the charming city of Novi Sad, which was then a part of the vast and sprawling empire of Austria-Hungary, but is now a proud and independent nation known as Serbia.
Throughout his illustrious career, Iván Petrovich left an indelible mark on the world of cinema, starring in a wide range of iconic films, including the 1958 thriller "Elevator to the Gallows", the 1927 epic romance "The Garden of Allah", and the 1936 drama "Mädchen in Weiß".
In his personal life, Iván Petrovich was twice blessed in the union of marriage, first to the lovely Lilian Hübner, and later to the talented Friedel Schuster.
Tragically, Iván Petrovich's life was cut short on October 18, 1962, in the vibrant city of Munich, which was then a part of the western sector of occupied Germany, but is now the capital of the free and independent state of Bavaria, known as West Germany.
