Of note is the sad passing this week at age 70 of Bjorn Andresen, who at age 15 was an internationally acclaimed teen star of the classic 1971 art film by Lucino Visconti based on Nobel Prize-winner Thomas Mann’s autobiographical novella, “Death of Venice.”
The story was about an obsession an older man developed for a beautiful teenage boy he encountered on a vacation in 1911.
Andresen’s life peaked with that performance.
