Summary/Abstract: Herbert Lom made his name in world cinematography as the most successful Czech-born actor. Compared to his other fellow countrymen, he earned the most through filmmaking. Unlike others, he actually made his way to Hollywood. He became world famous playing the character of the mad Inspector Dreyfus in the Pink Panther series. When he died on 27 September 2012, the news was spread by virtually every major news agency around the world. However, he was also an artist who for a certain time fell hostage to complicated international policy. He was the focus of attention by the intelligence services from the West and from the East.
