Assuming 'yes' to my last question, then how about Peter Lorre?

No he was not an actor Mike but you are in the right arena.

Bingo! You got it Mike. Otto was known for making a mess of the English language and if any of you have read David Niven's book "Bring on the Empty Horses" you would be aware of them. Some were hilarious.
So who the heck are you Mike?

Empty horses? That's a group of hungry Sagittarians.
I just blink at cryptic clues, Meggles. Perfectly dense in fact.

Sorry about that Creedy, but if you haven't read the book and want a good laugh I recommend it highly. My apologies Jakeroo I didn't mean to ignore you, I was just wrapped up in the clues LOL

Another dead, continental European, born towards the end of the 19th century and died in the 1960s. I was awarded a Nobel Prize. So who the heck am I?

I take it that continental means he was not from the UK?

Correct, MommaKat. I was not from the UK, but rather was from western Europe.

Not from France, nor Germany; so I was neither of those gentlemen.

considering that, according to several sources, Otto was born in Wiznitz, which is located in modern day Ukraine, that was a very good guess, Mike - way to go LOL
Anyhoo, are you Boris Pasternak?
