- A major star in Yugoslavia and several parts of Europe, Fehmiu won film awards and definite heartthrob status in his native land before venturing out internationally. His American debut in a starring role with a huge, star-studded, international cast backing him up was poorly acted and the epic film a complete misfire. The Adventurers (1970) ruined any chances for Fehmiu to achieve similar stardom in Hollywood.
- Studied at the Belgrade Film Academy from 1956 to 1960 with Prof. Mata Milosevic.
- Lived with his wife, brothers and sisters between Belgrade, Prizren and Pristina. Released an autobiographical book. (May 2001)
- Bekim Fehmiu's parents were of Albanian nationality from Kosovo, living in Sarajevo, Bosnia.
