All worthy members for the Hall I think.
Yes, except one, as I have no clue who Diana Lorys is or was ???
Spanish Actress Stanton, she as quite an impressive SW resume to show, acted in several ones, only Bad Man’s river comes to mind right now, but I’m sure she was in much more SW.
Not so many bio’s to write this time around, Col. ;)?
no one said nothing for HORST FRANK why??? :’( he was one of the best bad villains
Why didn’t you vote? You are qualified. Oh well, maybe next year. I voted for Horst.
Yep, it shouldn’t take as long to do it this time around. I should get started. As we were discussing earlier, perhaps we should change the format of the page so it isn’t so big.
ANTHONY GHIDRA
June 13, 1933 (Kragujevac, Kingdom of Yugoslavia now Serbia)- November 11, 1993 (Belgrade, Serbia, FR Yugoslavia)
Known by his nickname “Gidra” in his homeland, this talented Serbian actor put forth several memorable performances as a Spaghetti Western leading man. His real name was Dragomir Bojanić, butt he was billed as Anthony Ghidra in all of his Spaghetti Western films. His first western was a small role in the German Karl May western Among Vultures aka Frontier Hellcat (1964). He then went on play the lead in five Spaghetti Westerns, of which the best known is probably the unofficial “Django” Sequel, Django the Last Killer, as “Django”, a mentor to George Eastman. Perhaps his best performance was as a cowardly and alcoholic Sheriff in Tequila Joe (1968). Outside of the Spaghetti Western genre, he had over 100 film and television credits, usually in Yugoslavian cinema. He gained considerable fame throughout the Eastern Bloc, starring as the character “Zika” in the popular “Lude godine” series of comedy films. He played the character a total of ten times from 1978 to 1992, and it remains his best known role. He also had a supporting role in Walter Defends Sarajevo (1972). He continued to act until his death.
ROBERT WOODS aka ROBERT WOOD
July 19th, 1936 (Colorado, USA)-
Out of the numerous American lead actors who made a living in Italy making Spaghetti Westerns, the most prolific is Robert Woods. Often billed without the ‘S’ in his last name, he starring in a total of 21 such films, playing a variety of characters. The most commercially successful of these was Seven Guns for the MacGregors (1966), which was popular enough to spawn a sequel, but without Woods. Although most of Wood’s films were only moderate successes at the Italian box office, a few of his films have gained cult followings over the years. His film Gatling Gun (1968), is a favorite of director Quentin Tarantino. Others include Black Jack (1968), a memorable performance as a drunken gunfighter in El Puro (1969), and the notorious Demofilo Fidani western, His Name Was Sam Walbash, But They Call Him Amen aka Savage Guns (1971). Outside of the Spaghetti Western genre, he modeled for Pierre Cardin, worked at an Italian dubbing studio, and sang and performed in theatre productions. He also had roles in a number of Jesus Franco films. He had a small role in Battle of the Bulge (1965), and continues to act to this day.

Too late, save it for next year.
ok then next year, the next year it will come soon
An interesting project. Perhaps I’ll be qualified to vote next year. In any case, I want to make a note to campaign for Raf Baldassarre and Lorenzo Robledo well in advance of next year’s voting.
From now on, Phil H will be your best friend on this site.
Lorenzo lovers of the world unite!
I love seeing him show up in films. There’s something that strikes me as very Scotch-Irish about his face, for some reason, that makes him stand apart from the other henchmen. Also, great acting. He’s inevitably my favorite henchman / townsperson / pioneer whose horse is being commandeered.
Sorry guys I’ve been too busy lately to do the bios but I will get them done.
That’s fine Col.; no hurry.
