George Hilton (actor)

George Hilton, born Jorge Hill Acosta y Lara (July 16, 1934 – July 28, 2019), was an Uruguayan actor well known for his many Spaghetti Western performances. Sometimes credited as Jorge Hilton, he appeared in over 20 Euro-westerns as well as several Giallo and action films.
Biography.
Born in Montevideo, Uruguay. He began his career working in radio. In 1955 he moved to Argentina, adopting the pseudonym Jorge Hilton. He soon began to appear in several soap operas and film production for Argentina's domestic market.
In 1963 he moved to Italy, following the footsteps of other famous South American actors such as the Argentines Jorge Rigaud and Alberto de Mendoza, who were attracted by the thriving Italian film industry of the '60s. After Anglicizing his name to George, he got the lead role in "The Masked Man Against the Pirates" (Il corsaro nero nell'isola del Tesoro, 1965) and appeared in the Franco and Ciccio Bond spoof comedy "Due mafiosi contro Goldginger", directed by Giorgio Simonelli.
His career in the Euro-western genre was launched by director Lucio Fulci with the film "Massacre Time" (1966), starring Franco Nero, where his supporting role made him an instant icon in the genre. In 1967 he appeared to even greater effect as "Stranger" in "Any Gun Can Play" (also known as "Go Kill and Come Back") with Edd Byrnes and Gilbert Roland. In the following year he participated in seven productions, enhancing his international reputation and garnering him significant attention, especially in Spain. Soon Hilton became one of the major stars of Spaghetti Westerns, eventually playing Sartana in the last film of the "Sartana" series, "Sartana's Here… Trade Your Pistol for a Coffin", after Gianni Garko left the role. His most famous character is arguably that of the gunslinger Allelujah (or Hallelujah) in "They Call Me Hallelujah" (1971), created with director Giuliano Carnimeo, who also directed the sequel involving the same character ("Return of Hallelujah", 1972) as well as "Man Called Invincible" (1973), in which Hilton played Tresette, another of his famous roles. Besides westerns, Hilton appeared in numerous "gialli", mostly in the 1970s and many directed by Sergio Martino, and in more conventional crime and action films after the Spaghetti Western craze ended.
In his last years Hilton reduced his film appearances but nevertheless remained active, and he is still fondly remembered as one of the biggest stars of Italian cinema, along with Terence Hill, Franco Nero and Giuliano Gemma. His legacy as a film star also remains intact, with Hilton asked to do many interviews and retrospectives on his film career on a regular basis.
On July 28, 2019, Hilton died at a clinic in Rome, at the age of 85, after suffering of a long undisclosed illness. The funeral was held the next day at 4.30 pm local time, at the Santa Maria in Montesanto in Piazza del Popolo.


Hope and Keen

Mike Hope (born Michael Gerard Harrison; 17 June 1935 – 12 April 2019) and Albie Keen (born Thomas Albert Henry Harrison; 4 June 1935 – 2 March 2020) were a British comedy double act.
History.
They were first cousins, the sons of British variety comedians Syd and Max Harrison, and first formed their act, as singers, dancers and acrobats, in 1956.
In 1971 they were engaged for the West End show "Meet Me In London" at the "Adelphi Theatre". This was a ten-week ‘fill-in’- put on by impresario Harold Fielding after "Charlie Girl" closed at short notice and he was getting together a production of "Show Boat".
Hope and Keen had a spot in the first half. When the other star of this part of the show Clodagh Rogers walked out fifteen minutes before curtain-up on the first night after one of her numbers was cut they filled in for her for several nights before another singer (Susan Maughan) came in. They received positive reviews from the critics in this run as they not only demonstrated a gift for comedy, but also played several instruments between them and their flair for gymnastics. Physical comedy became the mainstay of their act and a very impressive sword-dueling sequence became a signature skit in the act. They even had offers to be hired as stuntmen.
Both were members of the Grand Order of Water Rats. In 1979 they served as joint captains of the Variety Club of Great Britain's Golfing Society.
Mike Hope died in 2019, aged 83. Albie Keen died in 2020, aged 84.

The movie is set between approximately 3 p.m. and just after midnight on a day in November 1959. Managing Editor Sam Gatlin and his staff put together the early edition of the Examiner, a morning newspaper in Los Angeles. During a particularly active news night, Gatlin and his second wife (of three years), Peggy, disagree about adopting a seven-year-old boy named Billy. (Peggy can't have children and wants to adopt. Gatlin's young son from his first marriage had been killed several years before, presumably in some sort of accident. Gatlin tells Peggy he can't ever let himself love another child because losing that child, too, would destroy him.) Longtime reporter Lady Wilson's grandson pilots a military bomber from Honolulu to New York, intending to set a speed record. A child is lost and feared drowned in the L.A. sewers during this night's torrential rainstorm; Gatlin composes a warning headline with a two-page-wide picture of a storm drain: "DANGER, KIDS! STAY OUT OF THESE! One little girl didn't!". Copy boy Earl Collins considers quitting after failing to place a $1 bet for city editor Jim Bathgate concerning how many babies a famous Italian actress would give birth to that day. (It was twins, at 50-1 odds.) Bathgate demands and gets an IOU from the woefully underpaid Collins to cover the $50 Bathgate would have won, but Bathgate tears it up, smiling to himself, on his way out of the newsroom at the end of the film.
