 Kati Andresz graduated from the Academy of Theatre and Film Arts in 1978, then became a member of the Katona József National Theatre in Kecskemét. Later he worked as an actor at the National Theatre of Pécs between 1981 and 1984 and at the Kisfaludy Theatre in Győr between 1984 and 1986. Between 1986 and 1987 he played at the Szigligeti Theatre in Szolnok, but in 1987 he was also employed by the Yurta Theatre. He has been a freelancer since 1988.

"All of us who follow cinema and TV all the time know that Hungarian dubbing used to be deservedly world-famous. Today, in the era of the market economy, times are different, but even in these more difficult circumstances, the profession still has prestige. In addition to her stage roles and literary evenings, in which I have seen her, Kati has been one of the icons of Hungarian dubbing for decades. She has lent her special voice to Romy Schneider, Susan Sarandon, among others, and in the popular Suleiman series, for example, she was the voice of the respected Mrs Afife. Through her, the Turkish actress spoke wonderful Hungarian, but so far she has not received any recognition. He didn't complain, he did his job quietly and modestly, and he carried his family on his back," the paper quoted an art blog as saying.

We received extremely sad news: Kati Andresz passed away today

– writes Synchronjunkie, which deals with Hungarian dubbing life, on its social media page.

He left a huge void in our hearts, because we had the opportunity to get to know him personally. And his endless kindness instantly made thousands, even thousands, hundreds of thousands of dubbing enthusiasts fans instant. Who doesn't remember her unparalleled performance in the Harry Potter films as the Weasleys' mom? But among his more than 1650 dubbing works, there are plenty more to mention

— remember, and then mention in their farewell his voice acting work in Kojak, Columbo, Magnum, Killing Lines, Octopus and Petrocelli. But, as they write, she was the Janet Weissa of the Rocky Horror Picture Show and we heard her in The Last Mohican, or she entertained us as Elaine in the excellent film 48 Hours. She was Molly in 9 and a half weeks, appeared in Highlander, was heard at the Police Academy, first voiced John McLane's wife Holly in Die Hard, starred in Naked Gun, and was the prosecutor in Tango & Cash.

Kati Andresz is an irreplaceable loss, whose absence is inconceivable

– say goodbye.

ANDRESZ, Kati
