Ljuba Tadić

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ljubomir "Ljuba" Tadić, (Serbian Cyrillic: Љубомир Тадић) (born May 31, 1929 in Uroševac, Kingdom of Yugoslavia — died October 28, 2005 in Belgrade, Serbia, Serbia-Montenegro) was a Serbian actor who enjoyed a reputation as one of the greatest names in the history of former Yugoslav cinema.

He made his screen debut in 1953, but his first truly memorable role was in 1957 film Nije bilo uzalud. In this film, like in many others, he played the villain, but he turned out to be the most memorable character. Later he built on this reputation and continued to play important historical and larger-than-life characters.

He also made history by uttering an obscenity in one of the final scenes of 1964 WW1 epic Marš na Drinu, which was the first such instance in the history of former Yugoslav cinema.
