Emil Botta
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Emil Botta (15 September 1911, Adjud – 24 July 1977, Bucharest) was a Romanian actor and writer.
Botta's acting career ended as a result of his heavy drinking.[citation needed] However he did continue to write poetry and is one of the writers of the 1960s whose work is recognized as a solid landmark of contemporary Romanian literature.
He is considered to compare favorably to Lucian Blaga, a Romanian poet and playwright who is much more accessible in English translation.[citation needed]
Botta was a 1930 graduate of the Dramatical Art Conservatory of Bucharest.
He was married for a while to actress Maria Mimi Botta.[1]
