Dorel Urlăţeanu is part of the "chosen" group of actors who began their profession in the 1930s, in a prosperous and somewhat happy Romania, continued it after the war, then crossed, with amazement and, more than once resigned - or, on the contrary, rebellious - the communist period. Some found it impossible to resist, to adapt, others were thrown into prisons, a few, very few, made, not easily, a pact with the devil... Just as some became heroes, fighting, with weapons specific to art, against the communist regime. If we remember what destiny an artist like the immortal Constantin Tănase had, we will better understand how this generation emerged and survived. Dorel Urlăţeanu was a very important actor, the only emeritus artist in the Oradea theater. He trained alongside great theater people, notable personalities: VIPopa, playwright and director, I.Maximilian, Ion Livescu, George Vraca, Ion Sava, Maria Filotti, Sonia Cluceru, Aura Buzescu, etc.
