Henkie Klein

Little Henkie Klein (sometimes written as Klyn or Kleinman) was a child actor in German and Dutch films of the silent era. He was born in 1921 in Amsterdam and was the son of film director Henk Kleinman.  Henkie had made his film debut as the Berlin street boy Bolleken in Goldjunge/Stille Nacht, Heilige Nacht (1925, Henk Kleinman). Both films are now presumed missing. (More information on Henkie Klein was not to be found on the net. If he is still alive, he would be now 86 or 87).

Vintage Film

Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens (translated as Nosferatu: A Symphony of Horror; or simply Nosferatu) is a classic 1922 German Expressionist horror film, directed by F. W. Murnau, starring Max Schreck as the vampire Count Orlok. The film, shot in 1921 and released in 1922, was an unauthorized adaptation of Bram Stoker's Dracula, with names and other details changed because the studio could not obtain the rights to the novel (for instance, "vampire" became "Nosferatu" and "Count Dracula" became "Count Orlok").
