Biography

Sol Frieder, a renowned thespian, entered this world on a sweltering summer day, July 4, 1919, in the vibrant city of Stuttgart, Germany. Over the course of his remarkable life, he would go on to leave an indelible mark on the world of cinema, captivating audiences with his impressive range and versatility.

Among his most notable roles, Frieder shone brightly in Woody Allen's "Love and Death" (1975),a wickedly witty and intellectually stimulating comedy that would cement his status as a master of his craft. Decades later, he would reprise this magic in "Fading Gigolo" (2013),a charming and poignant exploration of the human condition.

In between these two critically acclaimed performances, Frieder brought his unique brand of gravitas to "Crimes and Misdemeanors" (1989),a thought-provoking and deeply humane drama that would further solidify his reputation as a thespian of uncommon talent.

Tragically, Sol Frieder's remarkable journey came to a close on June 17, 2015, in Maspeth, New York, USA, leaving behind a legacy that would continue to inspire and delight audiences for generations to come.
