Throw in Fernwood, too, bentelec.
Just checked the first three albums right off the shelf--Adny on every one. (Underscoring something the aforementioned Frank Kogan pointed out recently: it would have taken me two seconds to reach over to my left and check the albums, but I instinctively checked Google first.)

Also underscores that he is not famous enough/that fact is not important enough to insure that somebody would undo the spell-checkers hypercorrection so it ends up gets drowned out in the ethernet.

László Kovács (Hungarian-born cinematographer, key to "new Hollywood" films of the '70s) and Vilmos Zsigmond (Hungarian-born cinematographer, key to "new Hollywood" films of the '70s).

Yes. Also add Victor Laszlo, the character in Casablanca, and László Kovács, the alias Jean-Paul Belmondo uses in Breathless. Apparently the name László Kovács is like the John Smith of Hungary so there are probably a few more of them, but I don't know them so I don't mix them up.

Also add Victor Laszlo, the character in Casablanca, and László Kovács, the alias Jean-Paul Belmondo uses in Breathless.
You could also probably throw in Ernest Laszlo, a cinematographer who was nominated eight times for an Academy Award through the '60s and '70s (winning for Ship of Fools). Truthfully, I wasn't even aware of him till I started checking into László Kovács earlier.

Born in Lebanon but of Armenian heritage. (The "-ian" ending is a common feature of Armenian surnames.)

They don't look anything alike, but for obvious reasons I'll mix up Kathy Bates and Kathy Baker--if I see either name anywhere, I'll have to stop for a couple of seconds to remember which is which.

I've had the same Kathy Bates/Baker problem as Clemenza. I've never seen Misery, so for a long time I thought the doctor from Picket Fences plays the lead in it.
