This may be a personal request. Iād love to see a Boot Hill/Sad Hill section on this data board. I keep a data file on every actor I can find who appeared in a Euro-Western / Spaghetti Western. Trying to find information on many of these character actors is minimal at best and seldom are there deaths reported in newspapers or on the web. Most of the time we learn months/ years later through correspondence that some we all know by name has passed away. I recently found several death dates in the new āDizionario Del Western AllāItalianaā book by Marco Giusti in the directors section.
We could list the actors birth dates and place of birth and death and locations in a database and again this would require help and information, challenges from all posters on the board.
Maybe a second section for obits of these same people when they are located. We could keep the obits for a week, month (Sebastianās call) and then they would be deleted. This way we would all be notified by checking this section when someone passed away (a composer, actor, director, screenwriter, cinematographer, etc.)
Just an idea but I donāt see anything like this on any other databases except in the forum sections once in a while when someone very prominant passes.
you guys donāt necessarily have to ask me for āpermissionā to start certain projects. Iām fine with you all going ahead with certain things, as long as you keep me informed and keep in mind that I will reserve final judgement on whatās happening. But youāre all doing this voluntarily and Iād like to give you all the greatest freedoms possible. I just like to see work concentrated to some extent and focussed on necessary work or team projects before moving on to the next, etcā¦
but this boot hill idea is great. maybe donāt call the page āboot hillā for obvious reasons. what other naming options to we have? ācemetery with crossesā? haha
Can you create a section, page whatever Sebaastian? I have the "Aās already to go as soon as I have a place to post it.
Anyoner who can add photoās etc. pleas do as I donāt know how to post pictures on this board.
By the way French actor Raymond Pellegrin died today at 87. He was in āA Taste of Deathā and played the sheriff.
Iāve posted Section A so take a look and Iāll start on Section B etc.
Iād like to see a subsection to post obits on current deaths and this could be left up for a week before Sebastian deletes us. Therefore anyone interested could get whatever information they want from them.
Iām only posting people involved in Italian, Spanish, German, French and the U.S.A., British co-productions.
If Sebastian adds a subpage we can post obits for anyone we feel should be noticed for their contribution to the genre such as producers, stuntmen, set designers.
well I guess as long as they are involved in Spaghetti Western, they can all go on the main list, with job description in brackets behind the names, no?
We could post a new obit in the alphabetical order it belongs and then if okay with Sebastian he can make me the head grave digger and Iāll be in charge of the cemetery and delete it after itās been on there for a week and just leave the vital information. How does that sound?
well we donāt have to ādeleteā anytying, we can make a subpage with stuff thatās no longer recent. and in the end, we have a looong list of legens
