It is possible that Franz Liszt may be the most famous Hungarian of them all, even greater than Tony Curtis or Zsa Zsa Gabor. He was a composer, pianist and teacher during the Romantic Era. Liszt gained renown in Europe of the early nineteenth century for his skill as a virtuoso pianist.
While reading up on Herr Liszt, it dawned on me, with my pitiable language skills, that his name in English would be 'Frankie Flowers(!).' If that doesn't sound like a character from The Sopranos or Goodfellas, I don't know what does.
But I like it.
