Reviews Summary
Visitors praise the Yul Brynner Monument as a touching tribute to the iconic actor, particularly appreciating the statue's depiction of his famous role. The informative plaque is also a highlight, though the private nature of the birthplace means interior access is not possible.
"A statue in front of the house where this famous actor was born in Vladivostok. Yul is wearing a costume from his famous film "The King and I". There is a plaque on the left of the house too, don't miss it. No entry into house which is privately owned."
Vincent Oliver
"The future Hollywood star, winner of the Oscar, was born on July 11, 1920 in the Brinner family, who played a large role in the history of Vladivostok. In honor of his grandfather, Julius Ivanovich Brinner, who was a major fish and gold miner, he was named Julius. After the establishment of Soviet power in Primorye in 1922, the family emigrated to Harbin, then to Paris, and later to the United States. Yul Brynner since childhood took part in home productions, and in the United States became a famous actor. In Hollywood, the actor played many roles, including in the productions of Russian classics. He received an Oscar for starring in the movie King and Me.
It was in the image of the proud and powerful king of Siam that Yul Brinner was depicted by the sculptor from St. Petersburg Alexey Bokiy."
