Romanian Actor Gheorghe Dinica Dies At 75

Dinica was in critical condition Tuesday morning after undergoing a bile duct laparoscopic surgery Monday evening.

In a press release issued Tuesday morning, doctors said his "condition is critical and requires constant intensive care to bring vital organs to normal parameters," and declined to provide further details.

On October 22, Dinica was admitted to the Floreasca hospital where he received medical care and treatment for multiple infections, which affected most vital organs.

Dinica was first diagnosed with severe lung and kidney infection, which subsequently led to respiratory problems and complications.

Dinica, one of Romania's most famous and highly acclaimed actors, made his debut as an actor with the film "The Stranger" in 1963 and has starred in over 60 films since then, among which, "The Afternoon of a Torturer," "Filantropica," "Regina" (TV Series), "Gypsy Heart" (TV Series). Dinica also performed for some of the most famous Romanian theaters and acted in "Tache, Ianke and Cadar," "The Name of the Rose," "Waiting for Godot", and numerous other plays.

Dinica also released several folk music albums alongside late actor Stefan Iordache and folk singer Nelu Ploiesteanu.

Since 2002, Dinica has been honorary member of the society of I.L.Caragiale National Theater. Dinica, also an honorary citizen of the city of Bucharest, was awarded the "Faithful Service" Order in the rank of Grand Officer.
