Yul Brynner (born Yuly Borisovich Briner, (ロシア語:Юлий Борисович Бринер); July 11, 1920 – October 10, 1985)〔Record of Yul Brynner, #108-18-2984. Social Security Administration. (Born in 1920 according to the Social Security Death Index (although some sources indicate the year was 1915) ) Provo, Utah: MyFamily.com, Inc., 2006. In his biography of his father, Rock Yul Brynner, asserts that he was born in the later year (1920).〕 was a Russian-born United States-based film and stage actor.〔Obituary ''Variety'', October 16, 1985.〕 Brynner was best known for his portrayals of Rameses II in the 1956 Cecil B. DeMille blockbuster ''The Ten Commandments'', and of King Mongkut of Siam in the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical ''The King and I'', for which he won two Tony Awards and an Academy Award for the film version. He played the role 4625 times on stage. He portrayed General Bounine in the 1956 film ''Anastasia'' and Chris Adams in ''The Magnificent Seven''. Brynner was noted for his distinctive voice and for his shaved head, which he maintained as a personal trademark long after adopting it in 1951 for his role in ''The King and I''. Earlier, he was a model and television director, and later a photographer and the author of two books. ==Early life== Yul Brynner was born Yuliy Borisovich Briner in 1920.〔United States Declaration of Intent (Document No. 541593), Record Group 21: Records of District Courts of the United States, 1685–2004, filed June 4, 1943〕〔(Some sources cite July 7, 1915 as his date of birth, though Brynner himself always gave the 1920 date in immigration and naturalization documents. )〕 He exaggerated his background and early life for the press, claiming that he was born "Taidje Khan" of part-Mongol parentage, on the Russian island of Sakhalin.〔Brynner, Rock. ''Yul: The Man Who Would Be King'' Berkeley Books: 1991; ISBN 0-425-12547-5〕 In reality, he was born at home in a four-story residence at 15 Aleutskaya Street, Vladivostok, in the Far Eastern Republic (present-day Primorsky Krai, Russia).〔(Briner Residence )〕 He occasionally referred to himself as Julius Briner,〔 Jules Bryner or Youl Bryner.〔 The 1989 biography by his son, Rock Brynner, clarified some of these issues.〔 His father, Boris Yuliyevich Briner, was a mining engineer and inventor of Swiss-German and Russian descent, whose father, Jules Briner, was a Swiss citizen who moved to Vladivostok in the 1870s and established a successful import/export company.〔Rochman, Sue. ("A King's Legacy" ), ''Cancer Today'' magazine, Winter 2011 (December 5, 2011); accessed January 20, 2013〕 Brynner's paternal grandmother, Natalya Yosifovna Kurkutova, was a native of Irkutsk and a Eurasian of part Buryat ancestry. Brynner's mother, Marousia Dimitrievna (née Blagovidova), came from the Russian intelligentsia and studied to be an actress and singer. Brynner felt a strong personal connection to the Romani people; in 1977, Yul Brynner was named Honorary President of the International Romani Union, an office that he kept until his death.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Yul Brynner biography )〕 Boris Briner's work required extensive travel, and in 1923 he fell in love with an actress, Katya Kornukova, at the Moscow Art Theatre, and soon after abandoned his family. Yul's mother took him and his sister, Vera (January 17, 1916 – December 13, 1967), to Harbin, China, where they attended a school run by the YMCA. In 1932, fearing a war between China and Japan, she took them to Paris.〔 Brynner played his guitar in Russian nightclubs in Paris, sometimes accompanying his sister, playing Russian and Roma songs. He trained as a trapeze acrobat and worked in a French circus troupe for five〔https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cS3dd-OhsP4&feature=youtu.be&t=4m28s〕 years, but after sustaining a back injury, he turned to acting.〔〔Seiler, Michael. ("Yul Brynner Dies at 65; 30 Years in ''King and I''" ), ''Los Angeles Times'', October 10, 1985, accessed January 5, 2013.〕 In 1938, his mother was diagnosed with leukemia, and they briefly moved back to Harbin.〔 In 1940, speaking little English, he and his mother emigrated to the United States aboard the , arriving in New York City on October 25, 1940, where his sister already lived.〔〔 Vera, a singer, starred in ''The Consul'' on Broadway in 1950〔(Vera Brynner ), at the Internet Broadway Database, accessed January 20, 2013〕 and appeared at The Metropolitan Opera as Prince Orlofsky in ''Die Fledermaus'' and on television in the title role of ''Carmen''. She later taught voice in New York.〔("EBONY 10/1966" )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Yul Brynner」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
