Did their love story echo within these very walls? We stand before the Ruttkai Éva és Latinovits Zoltán Plaque. It commemorates two of Hungary’s most celebrated actors. Éva Ruttkai and Zoltán Latinovits, their names forever intertwined, lived here. The inscription reads, “In this house, which they dreamed up themselves, lived actress Éva Ruttkai (1927-1986) and her companion, actor Zoltán Latinovits (1931-1976).” Ruttkai, a captivating presence on stage and screen, began her acting career at the tender age of two. Her talent blossomed under the tutelage of Makay Margit. She graced the stages of the Vígszínház and the National Theatre. She delivered memorable performances in plays by Molnár, Shakespeare, and Chekhov. Latinovits, known for his intense portrayals and passionate spirit, became her partner in life and art. Their connection, as Ruttkai herself described, was profound. “We tore each other apart, but we understood each other best. No one could love what I did as much as he did.” Their shared home. A testament to their dreams and their bond. A place where their love story unfolded. Ruttkai Éva és Latinovits Zoltán Plaque. A quiet reminder of their enduring presence in Hungarian theatre and in each other’s hearts.
