Zvonimir Torjanac, a celebrated and accomplished Croatian thespian, first drew breath on the 14th day of September, 1930, in the picturesque and quaint town of Donji Miholjac, nestled deep within the geographic boundaries of Croatia, which at the time was an integral part of the Yugoslavian state.
Throughout the span of his remarkable and distinguished career, Torjanac garnered widespread recognition and acclaim for his exceptional and impressive performances in a diverse range of films, including the critically acclaimed 1970 drama "Mejasi", the thought-provoking 1987 film "Osudjeni", and the sidesplitting 1971 comedy "Kuda idu divlje svinje".
Zvonimir Torjanac's existence was marked by a profound sense of sorrow as his mortal coil was irreparably rent asunder on September 9, 2014, within the storied confines of Zagreb, the majestic capital city of Croatia, where he had chosen to reside in the twilight of his days.
