Is he directly connected to the movie industry? For clarity merely being portrayed or having a story adapted without any input should illicit a "no" response.

Did he die before 1st Jan, 1900?

Just a note: It's still possible that he was involved in politics but he was not primarily known for politics.
Right, I'm using "primarily" to avoid the "did he compose three things as a teenager and then never do it again, but technically he was a composer" issue.
too funny :lol:

Surprisingly tricky to answer this. Can you be a little more specific what you’re asking?

He's asking whether the person is from any of the countries he mentioned.

Correct, whether they were a national of those countries or otherwise associated with those countries' film industries (as in, we would directly associate and connect them to one of those countries' movie industries).

It’s a yes, but with an asterisk (that I can’t really elaborate on without giving too big of a clue)
