About Július Satinský
Julius Satinsky (20 August 1941 - 29 December 2002) was a Slovak actor, comedian, singer, showman and writer. He is mostly remembered in Slovakia as a member of the comedian duo Milan Lasica - Julius Satinsky, though his scope of interest was wide. He studied drama theory at the Academy of Performing Arts in Bratislava and started his acting career alongside Milan Lasica in 1959, with whom he formed a comic duo that performed in the Divadlo na Korze theatre until the late 1960s. After 1968 the duo was partly banned from working in the Slovak part of Czechoslovakia and performed for two years in a cabaret in Brno, before moving to the newly established Studio S theatre when they were allowed to appear on stage again in 1982. Satinsky was also known as a radio and TV host, a lecturer on democracy and civil society, and an author of memoirs and feuilletons. On 2 January 2002 he received the state award Pribina Cross of the First Class for his lifetime contribution to Slovak art. He died on 29 December 2002 in Bratislava due to colon cancer, and asteroid 15946 Satinsky is named after him.
