Nora Gregor: Diva of Multicultural Gorizia
Nora Gregor, a film and theater actress, was born in Gorizia on February 3, 1901. She starred in European and Hollywood films, including Carl Th. Dreyer’s Michael (1924) and Jean Renoir’s The Rules of the Game (1939). After shining at Vienna’s Burgtheater, she fled Europe during World War II, finding refuge in Chile, where she died in 1949. Her story reflects the multicultural fabric of early 20th-century Gorizia, a crossroads of languages and cultures transformed by war.
