February 9 Birthday Wishes

Gino Corrado [1893 - 1982]

Brian Donlevy [1901 - 1972]

Roy Jenson [1927 2007]

Marianne Hill [1941 - ]

Gino Corrado was in a bunch of 3 stooges shorts. Also in Citizen Kane and Casablanca, both times uncredited as a waiter.

Brian Donlevy played a good heavy, whether in Westerns or crime dramas.

And there's a Star Trek connection between the last two. Roy Jensen was in the episode The Omega Glory with Morgan Woodward, who was also in the episode Dagger in the Mind with Marianne Hill.

Howdy Pards!!

As Tinhorn says, Brian Donlevy made a good heavy and that's just about all that I can remember him ever playing. Bad guy ranchers, bankers, railroad magnate, you name the evil villain in the plot and he played it. And he made you believe it!!

I can never remember Roy Jensen playing anything but an evil gang member, henchman, cattle rustler, horse thief, back shooting no good, dry gulchin murderer. He just had the face fer it!!

I remember Marianne Hill from the film High Plains Drifter, with Clint Eastwood, Mitchell Ryan and Walter Barnes. She played the prostitute that slapped Eastwood in the face and wuz dragged into the barn fer some slap and tickle. I believe that's the film the photo is from.

If anyone has Encore westerns watch for the mistake for their ad for Breakheart Pass. They talk about things you don't know about the picture such as boxer Archie Moore makes an appearance and rodeo rider Casey Tibbs but they show Roy Jensen pearing out of the cab of the trains engine. Roy played the train's engineer not Casey Tibbs.

Marianne Hill was also in El Condor with Lee Van Cleef and Jim Brown.
