Czech film director of Czech origin Milos Forman, who died at the age of 86 in the USA on Friday, April 13, 2018, was one of the biggest personalities of the Czech film ""New Wave"" from the 1960s and the most successful Czech film maker who made his mark abroad. Forman was born on February 18, 1932, in Caslav, central Bohemia. Both of his parents died in a Nazi concentration camp during WWII. After the war, Forman attended a boarding school for wartime orphans and a grammar school in Podebrady, central Bohemia. Among his schoolmates were Havel and later film-maker Ivan Passer who wrote scripts for Forman's Czech films. They both were leading personalities of the Czech New Film Wave of the 1960s.
