Emmi Buttykay (May 4, 1911 Budapest-July 5, 1957 London) also known as Emmi Buttykai or Buttykai Emmi was a Hungarian actor.
She was known for her roles in several Hungarian films in the 1930s and 1940s, including "The White Stork" (1930) and "The Jester's Daughter" (1941). Buttykay's acting career was cut short by World War II and the Nazi occupation of Hungary, during which she was forced to go into hiding.
After the war, Buttykay continued to act in films and on stage, but she was also involved in politics and social issues. She was an advocate for women's rights and was a member of the Hungarian Women's Association. In 1949, she fled Hungary when the Communist government took power.
Buttykay eventually settled in London, where she continued to act in films and on stage. She worked with the Royal Shakespeare Company and appeared in several British television dramas. However, she struggled with depression and alcoholism, and died of a drug overdose in 1957 at the age of 46.
Despite her relatively short life, Emmi Buttykay was a notable figure in both Hungarian and British cultural history. Her acting was praised by critics and audiences alike, and she was often compared to another famous Hungarian actress, Zsa Zsa Gabor.
During her time in London, Buttykay also became involved in the Hungarian refugee community and worked with organizations that assisted refugees fleeing Communist regimes. She was also an active member of the Hungarian Artists Association in London.
Looking back on her life and career, Emmi Buttykay's accomplishments are all the more impressive considering the challenges she faced, from Nazi occupation to Communist oppression. She remains an inspiration to many as a talented artist and a principled advocate for social justice.
