East German actor Hannjo Hasse (1921-1983) was the most sinister bad guy of the DEFA films. In the Eastern, the communist version of the Western, he often played greedy pioneers who seek to dispossess Native Americans.
Hannjo Hasse was born in Bonn, Germany, 1921. Hannjo began his adult life working in an office. In 1938, he began to study acting at Lilly Ackermann’s Ausbildungsanstalt für deutschen Bühnennachwuchs (Institute for Stage Artists' Education) in Berlin. In 1941, he was drafted for military service during World War II. After the end of the war and his release from captivity, Hasse returned to Weimar, where he spent another six months to complete his drama training. He made his debut on stage in the Nordhausen Theater, where he was also employed as a dramaturge. In 1951, Hasse made his first screen appearance, playing a minor role in Der Untertan/The Kaiser's Lackey (Wolfgang Staudte, 1951), based on Heinrich Mann's 1918 satirical novel by the same name. It was a huge success. He also played a supporting partb in Ernst Thälmann (Kurt Maetzig, 1954), a film in two parts about the life of Ernst Thälmann, leader of the Communist Party of Germany during much of the Weimar Republic. Hasse worked in theatres in Eisleben, Burg bei Magdeburg and Schwerin, before settling at the Hans Otto Theater in Leipzig, where he was a member of the regular cast between 1954 and 1962. Afterwards, he moved to Berlin's Volksbühne, and then to the Deutsches Theater. Hasse played a wide range of supporting characters, from Malvolio to the Fledermaus. From the late 1950s, Hasse focused mainly on cinema and television work. Although his earlier stage roles were mostly comical in nature, in the cinema he depicted sinister characters almost solely. He played the lead in the war film Der Fall Gleiwitz/The Gleiwitz Case (Gerhard Klein, 1961). The film themes the SS stage-managed Gleiwitz incident at the evening of 31 August 1939. This served national-socialist propaganda as a pretext to start second World War by raiding Poland the next day. The plot was reconstructed exactly according to the statements of SS-Man Alfred Naujocks before British authorities at the Nuremberg trials. Hasse’s other films included the Czech drama Vyšší princip/Higher Principle (Jiří Krejčík, 1960), the espionage thriller Reserviert für den Tod/Reserved for the Death (Heinz Thiel, 1963) with Hans-Peter Minetti, and the propaganda film An französischen Kaminen/At A French Fireside (Kurt Maetzig, 1963) with Arno Wyzniewski. The latter was one of eight major DEFA pictures made between 1959 and 1964 that centered on the theme of the Cold War, with an underlying message that East Germany had to defend itself from the West.
In 1966, Hannjo Hasse appeared in Die Söhne der großen Bärin/The Sons of Great Bear (Josef Mach, 1966), starring the Yugoslav actor Gojko Mitić in the leading role of Tokei-ihto. The picture is a revisionist Western, pioneering the genre of the Ostern (Eastern), and emphases on the positive portrayal of Native Americans, while presenting the Whites as antagonists. It is one of the most successful films produced by the DEFA studio. Renate Seydel, who interviewed Hasse in 1966, commented that he was the most perennial villain in the actors' ensemble of DEFA and Deutscher Fernsehfunk. The favorable reception of The Sons of Great Bear surpassed by far what DEFA directors had anticipated. This paved the way for a dozen Easterns featuring Indians as the heroes, often portrayed by Mitić and this series became the studio's best known and most successful film series. Hasse appeared in five Easterns, including Spur des Falken/Trail of the Falcon (Gottfried Kolditz, 1968) and Tödlicher Irrtum/Fatal Error (Konrad Petzold, 1970) with Armin Müller-Stahl. Hasse is also remembered for depicting SD Colonel von Dietrich in the Yugoslav partisan film Valter brani Sarajevo/Walter Defends Sarajevo (Hajrudin Krvavac, 1971). In addition to those entertainment films, he also portrayed historical antagonists in several bleaker pictures dealing with the recent past, like Adolf Eichmann in the film Lebende Ware/Living Cargo (Wolfgang Luderer, 1966) - based on the blood for goods affair, and as Reynhard Heydrich in the Czech-Russian war thriller Sokolovo (Otakar Vávra, 1975). Hasse told Seydel that he considered those roles as having educational value, in order to "demonstrate the full horror of Fascism" to younger viewers. In 1971, Hasse was awarded the Art Prize of the German Democratic Republic. He also dubbed many films and was the German voice for Philippe Noiret, Pierre Brasseur and Yves Montand. His later films include the Polish historical film Kopernik/Copernicus (Ewa Petelska, Czesław Petelski, 1973), the fairytale film Wer reißt denn gleich vorm Teufel aus/The Devil's Three Golden Hairs (Egon Schlegel, 1977) and the comedy Einfach Blumen aufs Dach/Simply flowers at the roof (Roland Oehme, 1979). His final bigger role was in the TV comedy Es war so nett in unserem Quartett/It was so fine in our quartet (Robert Trösch 1983). Hannjo Hasse died in Falkensee in the GDR in 1983 and is buried in the Südwestkirchhof Stahnsdorf. He was 61.

On 1 October 2013, Italian film actor Giuliano Gemma (1938-2013) died following a car accident near Rome. During the 1960s, he enjoyed great success as one of the heroes of the Spaghetti Western. Gemma was 75.
Giuliano Gemma was born in Rome, in 1938. While he was playing as a kid, he found a WW II bomb that exploded and the signs of injury stayed visible on his face. He practiced many sports like boxing, gymnastics, and tennis. Gemma first worked as a stuntman, then was offered real acting parts. His first parts included bit roles in the comedies Venezia, la luna e tu/Venice, the Moon and You (Dino Risi, 1958), starring Alberto Sordi and the ‘Italian Jayne Mansfield’, Marisa Allasio, and Arrangiatevi!/You're on Your Own (Mauro Bolognini, 1959) with Peppino De Filippo and Totò. Director Duccio Tessari offered him his first leading part in the Peplum satire Arrivano i titani/My Son, the Hero (Duccio Tessari, 1962), co-starring Jacqueline Sassard, Pedro Armendáriz and Antonella Lualdi. He also appeared as Garibaldi’s General in Luchino Visconti's classic Il Gattopardo/The Leopard (1963), based on Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa's novel of the same name. Encouraged by the success of Sergio Leone's Fistful of Dollars the previous year, Duccio Tessari decided to produce his own Spaghetti Western, Una pistola per Ringo/A Pistol for Ringo (1965). The score was composed by Ennio Morricone. Giuliano Gemma billed as Montgomery Wood starred as the gunfighter Ringo aka Angel Face. Gemma portrayed his character, loosely based on gunfighter Johnny Ringo, as the antithesis of Clint Eastwood’s Man with No Name. Ringo is talkative, well dressed, clean-shaven and preferring milk to whiskey. A Pistol for Ringo was an Italian-Spanish coproduction, shot on location in Almeria, Spain. The film was a huge success on the domestic market following its release in Italy and Spain and a year later it also did well in the other West-European countries and in the US. The success of A Pistol for Ringo inspired numerous sequels, most notably Il ritorno di Ringo/The Return of Ringo (Duccio Tessari, 1965) with Lorella De Luca (aka Hally Hammond), $10,000 for Ringo (1965), Ringo and Gringo against Everyone (1966) and Two R-R-Ringos from Texas (1967). Gemma went on to star in Spaghetti Westerns like Un dollaro bucato/Blood for a Silver Dollar (Giorgio Ferroni, 1965), Adios, Gringo (Giorgio Stegani, 1965) and I giorni dell'ira/Day of Anger (Tonino Valerii, 1967) opposite Lee van Cleef. He also appeared in non-Westerns, like the French historical romantic adventure film Angélique et le Roy/Angelique and the King (Bernard Borderie, 1966), the third part in the Angélique series featuring Michèle Mercier. Other example were the Euro-Spy film Kiss Kiss... Bang Bang (Duccio Tessari, 1966), and the crime film I bastardi/Sons of Satan (Duccio Tessari), starring Rita Hayworth.
Giuliano Gemma's career survived the demise of the Spaghetti Western genre. In 1970 he had a huge success with the comedy Quando le Donne Avevano la Coda/When Women Had Tails (1970) set in pre-historic times when ‘women had tails’ and were hunted by cavemen. Another box office hit was the action comedy Anche gli angeli mangiano fagioli/Even Angels Eat Beans (Enzo Barboni, 1973) opposite Bud Spencer. In Germany, it was awarded with the Goldene Leinwand (Golden Screen) Award in 1974. He returned in the sequel, Anche gli angeli tirano di destro/Charleston (Enzo Barboni, 1974) with Ricky Bruch (at his debut) who replaced Bud Spencer. Gemma also played in a variety of art-house offerings, such as the drama Delitto d'amore/Somewhere Beyond Love (Luigi Comencini, 1974) and Il deserto dei tartari/Desert of Tartars (Valerio Zurlini, 1976) for which he won a David di Donatello, the Italian equivalent of the Oscar. Three years later, he won the Grolla d'oro for Best Actor for his part in the crime-drama Un uomo in ginocchio/A Man on His Knees (Damiano Damiani, 1979) with Michele Placido. He also worked with Damiani on the Giallo (Italian horror thriller) L'avvertimento/The Warning (Damiano Damiani, 1980), co-starring Martin Balsam. He also played in the Giallo Tenebrae/Tenebre (Dario Argento, 1982), starring Anthony Franciosa. In 1985 he reunited with Ducio Tessari for Tex e il signore degli abissi/Tex And The Lord Of The Deep, based on the Italian comic series about ranger Tex Willer, written by Gian Luigi Bonelli. The film was meant to be the pilot of a TV Series but had very little success. More successful was the comedy Speriamo che sia femmina/Let's Hope It's a Girl (Mario Monicelli, 1986), which won the David di Donatello for Best Film and many other awards. Gemma remained active on Italian television and incidentally appeared in interesting films like Un bel dì vedremo/One fine day we'll see (Tonino Valerii, 1997) and the period drama Juana la Loca/Mad Love (Vicente Aranda, 2001) which received 3 Goya awards. Pilar López de Ayala starred as the tragic Queen Joanna of Castile madly in love to an unfaithful husband, Philip the Handsome, Archduke of Austria. Gemma also worked as a sculptor. Recently, he starred in a web comic named Man Born Again (2012) by Eclypsed Word, and he had a role in Woody Allen’s magical realist comedy To Rome with Love (2012). On 1 October 2013, Giuliano Gemma died following a car accident near Rome. He was taken to a hospital in Civitavecchia and pronounced dead shortly after his arrival. Two other passengers, a man and his son, were also injured in the accident. He was married to Baba Richerme. They had two daughters, Vera and Giuliana Gemma. Vera Gemma, is also an actress.
