Eszter Balint

Singer/actress Eszter Balint first emerged as a member of the avant-garde Squat Theater troupe before making a memorable cinematic debut in 1984 in director Jim Jarmusch's seminal indie film Stranger Than Paradise. From there she seemed to drop out of sight for the remainder of the decade, not reappearing on-screen until 1990's little-seen Bail Jumper. Small roles in The Linguini Incident and Trees Lounge followed as Balint instead focused more and more of her energies on music, and in 1999 she released her full-length debut Flicker. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
