Katalin Karády (1910–1990) was a leading actress in Hungarian movies made between 1939–1945. Her first movie role gave her instant fame as a diva, supported by her unusual, humming voice, and femme fatale character. She was awarded the Righteous among the Nations honorific for rescuing a number of Hungarian Jews.Naming citation (WGSBN Bull. 3, #12, 12), IAU / Minor Planet Center, via NASA/JPL
