Artur Agostinho

Willing to be an actor, Artur Agostinho did become one and from his teens (when he was an amateur player at the Campelido Atlético Clube) to the last days of his long life, he appeared on the screen, big or small (O Leão da Estrela (1947), Encontro com a Vida (1960), Sonhos Traídos (2002), ...). But this incredibly multi-talented man did many other things. You could find him in turns commenting a soccer match (his shining hour was the 1966 Football World Cup in London), presenting a radio or TV show, writing a book ('Os Abutres', 2002,...), running an advertising agency (Son Arte) or a newspaper (Record, from 1963 to 1974). Not the lazy kind,for sure. Artur Agostinho is fondly remembered in Portugal where he left a deep imprint.
