Awe, thanks. Methinks I can call you ZsaZsa now. I suppose I mustn’t be too frisky detailing the limits of my knowledge of all things Hungarian!

LOL...if you must, but Ava was the best of the lot. :-)

Actually, there were/are a lot of famous and not famous at all Hungarians/Americans with Hungarian ancestry, who have lived/live in American and made their adopted nation better.

Leo Szillard, who was part of inventing "THE BOMB" that ended WW II, was the uncle of a woman my grandmother was friends with and I played with her sons, when I was very little. Yes, I knew and met the great man, when he visited his family, but at that age, he was just another adult to me.

Many old films stars, directors, and owners of movie studios were Hungarian immigrants or of Hungarian descent. But most people have very little knowledge of Hungary and couldn't pick someone out of a lineup, who they thought looked Hungarian, if their lives depended on it. Well, perhaps the Gabor girls, but that's about it. LOL
