Milos Milos

I've just discovered another actor 50% of whose films were nominated for Best Picture (see the July archeive under the topic of John Cazale). The Yugoslavian-born actor Milos Milos was in two films--a small role in The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming (nominated for Best Picture in 1967), and he played the title role opposite William Shatner's Incubus, the only esperanto-language American film. He only appeared in these films because in 1966 at the age of 25, he committed suicide after murdering the Barbara Anne Thompson with whom Milos had had an affair. She was the fifth wife of Mickey Rooney.

Hey, Milos Milos, Yang Yang [A] and Yang Yang [B] -- I'm sensing a pattern here.
