Born: September 11, 1917; Died: September 27, 2012.
Czech-born film star Herbert Lom, best known as the deranged Chief Inspector Charles Dreyfus in the Pink Panther comedy films, has died, aged 95.
Born into a poor aristocratic family in Prague in 1917, he shortened his complicated name (Herbert Karel Angelo Kuchacevic ze Schluderpacheru) to Lom and appeared in a handful of locally made movies before emigrating to Britain before the outbreak of the Second World War and making his home here.
