Chaim Topol (1935-2023)
The actor Chaim Topol has died in Israel after a long illness. He was 87 years old. The actor was famous for portraying Tevye in the musical "Fiddler on the Roof". There is not much profile of the actor, but I decided to make this obituary as short and sweet as possible.
Throughout his career, Topol was known by his surname. His acting career began after being assigned to the entertainment troop while serving in the Israeli army. The actor first came to international attention with his breakthrough role in the 1964 movie, "Sallah Shabati". He has attributed his role in the London production of "Fiddler on the Roof" to his work on "Sallah Shabati", although he also played Tevye in Israel. He would later continue the role in the 1971 screen adaptation, which earned him a Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination. His other memorable portrayals include Dr. Hans Zarkov in "Flash Gordon" and James Bond's ally Columbo in "For Your Eyes Only".
Stay tuned for this year's Oscars ceremony to announce the winners, which will be tomorrow.
