    Anna Sten
    Anna StenUkrainian-born Hollywood actress Anna Sten (1908 – 1993) rose from Kyiv’s theatre scene and early Soviet silents to German talkies before Samuel Goldwyn brought her to the United States, promoting her as “the next Greta Garbo.” Notable films include Nana (1934), We Live Again (1934) and The Wedding Night (1935).

    Epifanij DrowniakNikifor Drovniak (real name Epifany Drovniak) was a Ukrainian primitivist artist of Lemko origin, born on May 21, 1895 in the city of Krynica (now Krynica-Zdrój, Poland) and died on October 10, 1968 in Folusz. His life was full of difficulties: he had speech and hearing impairments, lived in poverty and loneliness, and was often considered mentally ill.
