![Horst Buchholz and Romy Schneider, Happy New Year]()
Vintage card.
Austrian actress Romy Schneider (1938-1982) was one of the most beautiful and intelligent actors of her generation. Forty years after her death she still has an immense popular appeal.
Horst Buchholz (1933-2003) was the James Dean of the German Cinema. ‘Hotte’ was typecasted as a rebellious teenager in the late 1950s. He appeared in over sixty films between 1952 and 2002 and is now best remembered as the Mexican gunfighter Chico in The Magnificent Seven (John Sturges, 1960).

![Loeki de leeuw]()
Dutch postcard by Gebr. Spanjersberg, Capelle ad IJssel / Brasschaat. Image: Joop Geesink's Dollywood, 1988. Caption: Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. Sent by mail in 1990.
Loeki de Leeuw (Loeki the Lion) was an animated puppet who appeared on Dutch public television from 1972 to 2004. He appeared in ultra-short sketches often even without any text and he was noted for his clumsiness and his catchphrase, "Asjemenou". KGF Vissers at IMDb compares the sketches with 'a one-line newspaper cartoon'. Loeki was named after the famous International football player Louis Biesbrouck (Loek), but also it is said that his name is a derivation of the verb to look. Dutch film producer and animator Joop Geesink (1913–1984) developed the character.
