More with Attila . . .

Patrik asks:
Where is Attila von Somogyi top model of the 80s?

Another Attila von Somogyi question. I should just change the name of this blog to All-About-Attila.com.

Interestingly, I've come across a new lead for Attila . . including - possibly - his e-mail address.
I've just written him, and got this auto-reply:

hi all.. it's monday may 1 and out of office with the flu.. i'm not checking
voicemail or email so please try [content deleted] or or telephone her at [content deleted].

thanks,A>


When I get a real answer from "A", I'll let you know!

* I took the name, e-mail, and phone number he referred to out of this post, in case it's the wrong person, and I don't want to pester her. I'll let you know if it's the right guy when I hear back from him.

Tell him I want my photo back from when I wrote to his modelling agency and invited him to the prom in 1984.

Damn, you're good! I genuflect in your general direction.

I went to junior high school / high school with Attila. I was told he died of a drug overdose in early/mid 80's

I knew Attila in the 90's so he did not die of an overdose...I lost contact with him in 94 when i moved to NYC...Would love to touch base with him if anyone finds him! ..Lisa

What can I say? I'm a good detective. I found a fictitious name filing listed in FL (see bottom of doc) I've also come across some info that he is now the president of a film company that fields independent films for a Japanese company..

Attila was raised in Santa Barbara as the son of an athletic coach who fled Hungary in the '50s, he grew up an avid skateboarder (until a fall made him "lose most of my kneecap") and surfer. "Up to seventh grade my dad gave me haircuts," he grimaces. "I looked like a velour-head." Today, having hit an apogee as Klein's long-locked Hun with an appearance on a five-story billboard towering over Manhattan's Times Square, he has become a favorite of magazine fashion photographers. Says Frances Grill, the owner of Click, his agency: "Scavullo wanted to do a picture of Attila as Jesus on the Cross. We didn't take it too far."

More on Attila.. from 2006

Flamingo Features Japan has established a multi million dollar film fund in association with its North American arm, Flamingo Features USA, to find American film projects of interest to the Japanese market.

The fund, managed and represented by Flamingo Features broadband division, newly formed BEAM (Broadband Event and Media) World Network, will provide financing and Japanese territorial sales for a slate of ten American pictures ranging in budgets from 2 to 10 million dollars.

“We are currently seeking films that are already completed or are in a preproduction stage,” said Attila von Somogyi, whom as President of Flamingo Features USA and film fund advisor for BEAM, is in charge of submitting projects to Masaharu Kawakami, CEO of Flamingo Features Japan for approval.

Flamingo Features has established a unique niche in the DVD market by producing American projects for Asian audiences. However, through BEAM, the production company is expanding into the broadband/internet arena.

Among the projects currently in production at BEAM is a World Class Soccer series, a twenty-four hour entertainment program, “Showbiz NOW!” and the much-hyped canine series “Park Avenue Poochie”.

Flamingo Features recently announced their first original series for BEAM will be “Resume”, a 60-minute music bio program featuring today’s hottest bands and artists. “Resume” begins production later this month in association with Ironstar Entertainment.

“In addition to broadband distribution, BEAM will soon partner some of its productions with traditional broadcast networks in Japan,” added Mr. Kawakami. “Eventually we will team BEAM with TV-networks around the world.”

Love, Shyfire

I see and speak with Attila every day. He's producing films/TV for Asia and managing a film-fund that totals nearly a billion dollars. He still looks like "Attila!!"
