My new ebook is all set
for publication next week - 21st February. All of the
hard work is done and the manuscript has been proofed and formatted
ready for launch. Just one last proof read remaining and it'll be
good to go.
As the book is set in
1969 on the set of a spaghetti western, I thought I'd dedicate this
weeks update to the handsome men of those 1960s Italian cowboy
pictures. The kind of men who inspired this book. My own wild west
hero’s.
FRANCO NERO
Top of the list. My
absolute favourite. Clint Eastwood might be the most famous but
Franco was by far the sexiest of the spaghetti studs to put on a pair
of dusty chaps.
Born in Parma, Italy,
Franco's acting career has covered just about every genre from
western, thrillers to musicals. But he'll always be remembered as
the original and best actor to take on the legendary role of Django
(1966). I fell in love the first time I saw his stunning blue eyes
stare out from beneath the rim of his cowboy hat.
Terrence was the second
actor to take on the role of Django in Django Prepare a Coffin
(1967). Cast because of his remarkable resemblance to Franco Nero,
Terrence certain had the looks and the piercing eyes to follow Nero's
hunky original.
GEORGE HILTON
Originally from
Uruguay, George's Latin good looks made him a natural for the
European film scene of the 1960's. He made his spaghetti western
début in 1966 with Franco Nero in the movie Massacre Time –
two hot studs for the price of one.
GEORGE EASTMAN
Italian native, George
Eastman was a giant at 6ft 9in. His huge frame often him saw him
cast as villains and henchman, notably in Django Prepare a Coffin
with the dishy Terrence Hill.
As the above post shows
I love spaghetti westerns and the macho men who stared in them. The
four hunks above are nothing but the tip of the iceberg. Check out
some of the trailers on youtube and see if you can find some
favourites of your own.
