Composer and author Eric Zeisl entered the Vienna State Academy at fourteen years of age and was acclaimed as one of Austria's young compositional lights. In 1934 he won the Austrian State Prize for his music, but because of growing anti-Semitic pressures there he he was unable to secure a publishing contract since his work would have been banned in Germany. Fleeing Vienna for Paris in 1938, he finally reached America in late 1939 and settled in Los Angeles. He joined ASCAP in 1951. Zeisl composed one piano concerto, one cello concerto, four ballets, several choral and chamber music works and an unfinished opera. Zeisl also made several recordings that were published at the height of his fame.
Eric Zeisl passed away after teaching an evening class at L.A. City College. He had one daughter, Barbara Zeisl, who married Ronald Schoenberg, one of the sons of composer Arnold Schoenberg; her brother-in-law is Italian composer Luigi Nono. Ronald Schoenberg, the Los Angeles judge who presided over the spousal-abuse trial of Nicole and O.J. Simpson, had four children with Barbara: Eric Randol "Randy," Marlena, Frederic "Rick" and Melanie.
In 2015, the English film "Woman in Gold" starring Helen Mirren depicted a famous art recovery case that Zeisl's grandson Randy Schoenberg (played by Ryan Reynolds) argued before the Supreme Court.- Writer

- Angelina Stepanova was a notable actress of Moscow Art Theatre known as Anna Sherer in War and Peace (1965) by director Sergey Bondarchuk.
She was born Angelina Iosifovna Stepanova on November 23, 1905, in Nikolaevsk-na Amure, Russian Empire (now Nikolaevsk-na Amure, Russia). Her father, Iosif Stepanov, was an insurance agent, her mother, Maria Vladimirovna, was a dentist. From 1921 - 1924 Angelina Stepanova studied acting under Evgeni Vakhtangov at 3rd Studio of Moscow Art Theatre, making her stage debut in the legendary Vakhtangov's staging of Carlo Gozzi's comedy 'Princess Turandot'. In 1924, Stepanova was invited to perform in A.K. Tolstoy's play 'Tsar Fedor Ioannovich' opposite Konstantin Stanislavski.
From 1924 to 1994 Angelina Stepanova was a permanent member of the troupe at Moscow Art Theatre (MKhAT). There her stage partners included such renown Russian actors as Ivan Moskvin, Nikolay Khmelyov, Nikolai Sosnin, Alla Tarasova, Anatoli Ktorov, Olga Androvskaya, Angelina Stepanova, Anastasiya Georgievskaya, Mikhail Yanshin, Aleksey Gribov, Boris Livanov, Mikhail Kedrov, Viktor Stanitsyn, Vasili Toporkov, Mark Prudkin, Mikhail Bolduman, and the next generation of MKhAT actors - Oleg Efremov, Innokentiy Smoktunovskiy, Oleg Tabakov, Kira Golovko, Nina Gulyaeva, Tatyana Lavrova, Iya Savvina, Olga Barnet, Irina Miroshnichenko, Anastasiya Voznesenskaya, Andrey Myagkov, Vladimir Kashpur, Vladlen Davydov, Viktor Sergachyov, Vyacheslav Nevinnyy, Stanislav Lyubshin, Sergey Sazontev, Avangard Leontev, Igor Vasilev, and others.
Stepanova was a member of the board at Moscow Art Theatre (MKhAT). Her most acclaimed stage performances at Moscow Art Theatre were as Irina in 'The Three Sisters' (1930) directed by Konstantin Stanislavski, and as Betsy in Tolstoy's 'Anna Karenina' (1937), for which Stepanova won critical acclaim on a tour in Paris. She was equally compelling playing epic leads and character roles. During the 50s, 60s and 70s, her most memorable appearances were in classic plays by Anton Chekhov, such as Arkadina in 'Chayka' (aka.. 'The Seagull), as Avdotya in 'Ivanov', as Irina in 'Tri sestry' (aka.. The Three Sisters), and as Ranevskaya in 'Vishnevy sad' (aka.. The Cherry Orchard), the role she inherited from Olga Knipper-Chekhova. During the 80s, Stepanova joined Oleg Efremov after the split of the Moscow Art Theatre in two companies. In 1998 she made her last public appearance at the Centennial Anniversary of the Moscow Art Theatre.
During the Stalin's era, Stepanova was rarely cast in Soviet movies, according to "Stalin's spell" upon actors of the Moscow Art Theatre. She made her film debut in 1946 when the Soviet State allowed filming of the Moscow Art Theatre stage productions. At that time Stepanova, aged 40, appeared as young Anya, Ranevskaya's daughter opposite Olga Knipper-Chekhova. In 1953 she appeared opposite Alla Tarasova in Anna Karenina (1953), another record of a stage production by the cast of the Moscow Art Theater. Stepanova had to wait until the age of 60 to play her best known film role as Anna Sherer, a noblewoman in War and Peace (1965) by director Sergey Bondarchuk. She later co-starred opposite Boris Babochkin and Donatas Banionis in Begstvo mistera Mak-Kinli (1975), and also played bit parts in a few more Soviet films.
Stepanova received the Stalin's Prize (1952), and was designated People's Actress of the USSR (1960). She was awarded the State Prize of the USSR (1977), was named Hero of Socialist Labour (1975), and received numerous decorations from the Soviet and Russian State. She was married to writer Aleksandr Fadeyev, whom she met on her first tour in Paris in 1937, and the couple had two sons, Shura Fadeev, and Mikhail Fadeev. Angelina Stepanova died of natural causes on May 18, 2000, in Moscow, and was laid to rest next to her husband, Aleksandr Fadeyev, in Novodevichy Cemetery in Moscow, Russia. - Karin Granberg was born on 2 August 1905 in Stockholm, Sweden.
