Nuni Anestin is one of the important actors of the golden age, especially in terms of playing villains. Although his name is not as well-known as those of other actors of his generation, his acting talent seems to have gone far beyond the realms of the ordinary, and the recognition he receives today seems small compared to how much he gave on stage and on set.
Nuni also followed in his father’s footsteps and became a respected caricaturist.
He died on September 21, 1989, in Bucharest, Romania. He was only 48 years old.
