Manfred Koempel-Pilot (1895–1944) was a German stage and film actor.[1] He is also sometimes credited as André Pilot. Before the outbreak of World War I, Franz Kömpel trained as an operetta tenor at the Berlin Academy of Music. After serving on the front, he began his career in stage and film under the name Manfred Kömpel. In Vienna in particular, he became a favorite with theater audiences: on the occasion of a guest performance on stage, the Badener Zeitung called him the "most beautiful man in Vienna".[2]
