Robert was born on January 22, 1924 in Budapest. His father was a photographer and raised his son after the divorce. From him, Robert inherited a love of photography and eventually became a photographer for LIFE magazine and other publications.
True, first there was World War II, a prison where the Nazis threw a young man fighting for the freedom of Hungary, and after his release – higher education in economics at the University of Budapest. Thanks to his knowledge of English, he got a job at Time Life in Badapest, where he was engaged, among other things, in translation.
Because of cooperation with the U.S. military, the now communist Hungarian government suspected Robert of wrongdoing and sent him to prison. Freed, he worked for some time in Austria, and from there emigrated to the United States, where for some time he was a photographer for various publications, and then went into the film business.
During his decades-long career, Halmi Sr. produced about 115 films, including miniseries.
