The Budapest Sun On Line brings an interesting short article on Andy Vajna, the Hungarian producer who brought us numerous films, including Escape to Victory, the Rambo series, Die Hard: With a Vengeance, and Terminator 3: Rise of the Machines.
He now owns two casinos in Budapest.
“And in the Hollywood circles of the 1980s and 1990s, that passionate affair won for Vajna the reputation of a clever, independent maverick with ideas that turned to gold.”
“Before their falling out, the Carloco (Andy’s Italian partner in the US) office was apparently filled with “talent, booze, women” and especially cash - which was what brought all the rest in the first place. Rumour has it that they were sometimes losing track of the money they were making, to the point that when a check of $5 million arrived to the office one day, nobody knew what it was for.”
