Yul Brynner

His career established him as a major Hollywood figure, with notable roles in films such as "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Ten Commandments." Beyond his acting, Brynner became a prominent anti-smoking advocate after being diagnosed with lung cancer, recording a powerful public service announcement that aired following his death.

Recently, Brynner has been mentioned in news headlines following claims by comedian Eddie Murphy in a new documentary. Murphy alleges that Brynner made an unexpected sexual proposition to him during a party at New York's Studio 54 in the early 1980s. These claims have brought renewed attention to the late actor's personal life and Hollywood's social history during that era.
