Blue-eyed Italian actor Franco Nero (1941) was discovered by legendary director John Huston. His best known role is the coffin-dragging gunfighter in one of the best Spaghetti Westerns, Django (1966). Nero appeared in masterpieces of European directors like Luis Bunuel, Sergei Bondarchuk and Rainer Werner Fassbinder, but he also played the villainous opponent of Bruce Willis in the Hollywood blockbuster Die Hard 2 (1990).

This year’s initiative is bigger than ever, with more than 7,000 students from colleges across Greater Manchester attending one of a series of hard-hitting road safety performances at Middleton Arena.
Safe Drive Stay Alive was launched last year by Greater Manchester Fire & Rescue Service, North West Ambulance Service, Salford Royal NHS Trust, HMP Forest Bank, Greater Manchester Police and bereaved family members in an attempt to reduce the number of young driver deaths.
The 90 minute performances feature emergency service staff, convicted offenders, surviving victims of collisions and families that have lost loved ones who talk to the audience about their experiences of a road traffic collision.
Safe Drive Stay Alive is not easy watching and features a range of emotional and harrowing real-life stories from delivering a death knock or cutting somebody out a vehicle to spending time in prison or arranging a funeral for a child.
Ella Shaw, 18, attended Safe Drive Stay Alive with Salford City College last year and was inspired to write a song following her experience.
The song is written from the perspective of somebody killed in a collision and will be used as part of this year’s performance. Ella will perform it live at a special VIP event being held later on in the month.
Ella said: "I had just turned 17 when I saw 'Safe Drive Stay Alive', I thought I was going on a college trip to drive cars and it turned out I was completely wrong. I was so baffled by the dance track that was playing as we entered the haunting big auditorium and had no idea what we had just arrived to.
“I was instantly touched and overwhelmed by some of the things I saw and heard as I was learning to drive at the time it really impacted me. I've been fortunate enough to never have lost someone in a car accident but the thought of losing someone nearly brought me to tears.
“I'm so pleased to share my passion for composing music by writing a song personally for 'Safe Drive Stay Alive' and really hope it helps to change people’s lives like it did mine.”
Hannah Wilson lost her brother Matt in a collision and speaks about her experience on stage. She said: “Although taking part in Safe Drive Stay Alive is mentally and emotionally demanding, one thing that I am certain of is the passion and dedication shown by everyone who shares their experiences to audiences of Manchester's young people. Safe Drive Stay Alive gives me the opportunity to share how losing my brother in a road traffic collision continues to have a profound impact on my life, in the hope that this initiative can encourage others to think about their own driving practices.
“I feel that Safe Drive Stay Alive is an incredibly important initiative that delivers the stark reality faced by service professionals and family members who have tragically lost a loved one on our roads. Being able to deliver my own experiences following the death of my brother gives me the hope that lives can be saved through this powerful collection of real life narratives. “
Inspector Susan Redfern from Greater Manchester Police said: “I have been a police officer for 19 years and telling parents their son or daughter has been killed in a collision never gets any easier. There are no actors in Safe Drive Stay Alive and unfortunately everything you hear on that stage is real. If we can save just one life, it will have been worthwhile.”
Chair of Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Authority, Councillor David Acton, said: “Our firefighters deal with the devastating impact of road traffic collisions every day – we rescue more people from car crashes than we do from fires.
“Young people are particularly vulnerable and that’s why we’re supporting our partners across Greater Manchester to educate them through innovative schemes like Safe Drive Stay Alive.”
Steve Hynes, North West Ambulance Service’s Head of Service for the Greater Manchester area said: “Paramedics see first-hand the horrific devastation road accidents cause and the ongoing effect they have on individuals and their families. For some, life is never the same again.
“This initiative is an excellent way of educating young people about the risks and consequences of speeding and careless driving. Seeing and hearing from those immediately affected by this type of tragedy really hits home, and will hopefully make young drivers think about their own driving in the future.”
Peter Molyneux, Chair of the Greater Manchester Casualty Reduction Partnership said: “It is important for the Partnership to provide funding for this project as a disproportionate number of younger drivers and passengers are killed or seriously injured in collisions on Greater Manchester roads. This project encourages younger people to change their attitudes and behaviours towards the implications of taking risks on the roads.”

American actor William Holden (1918-1981) was called 'The Golden Boy' thanks to his first starring role as a young man torn between the violin and boxing in Golden Boy (1939). From then on he was typecast as the boy-next-door. After returning from World War II military service, he got two important roles: Joe Gillis, the gigolo, in Sunset Blvd. (1950), and the tutor in Born Yesterday (1950). These were followed by his Oscar-winning role as the cynical sergeant in Stalag 17 (1953). He stayed popular through the 1950s, appearing in such films as Picnic (1955) and The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957).

These are three actors prior to a re-enactment of action during WW II in the South Pacific. A narrator gave us a lesson on the history of some to these battles for our education. He was very well versed.
This "Sailor" was showing the actresses shots he had taken with his camera; probably candids of the two of them earlier. The one in green "fatigues" is shading the screen while the Aviatrix is admiring the photos.
Most of the actors/actresses were volunteers at the Nimitz Museum in Fredericksburg, TX. The show was outstanding and quite realistic of one of the battles. They actually demonstrated some weapons by firing a Thompson Machine Gun, a 12 guage shotgun, a 1903 Springfield rifle and an M1 rifle. During the "battle" they also fired a "flame thrower."
The battle was real enough to cause one to really think about the real thing.
A guest was introduced who sat near us who had been in the battle of Iwo Jima. He had to be in his 90's but, was very spry and animated waving to the crowd,
German postcard by Das Programm von Heute, Berlin. Photo: Minerva / Tobis. Gustav Knuth in Heimweh/Homesick (Jürgen von Alten, 1937).
Gustav Knuth (1901-1987) was a German actor who played folksy, good-natured characters in numerous films and TV series. After the Second World War, he took Swiss citizenship. He was a successful stage actor and starred in more than 120 films between 1935 and 1982. During the 1960s and 1970s, he was one of the most distinguished German TV actors.
Gustav Adolf Karl Friedrich Knuth was born in Braunschweig, in 1901. His parents were the Reichsbahn conductor Christoph Karl Gustav Knuth, and Johanna Friederike Luise Hermine Knuth, née Jürges. Pushed by his father into a locksmith apprenticeship after primary school, he broke off this training and, financed by his sister Else, took acting lessons with the actor Casimir Paris in Braunschweig. Through his mediation, he received his first engagement at the Stadttheater Hildesheim in 1918. This was followed by the Stadttheater Harburg from 1919 to 1922. Between 1922 and 1925 he played at the Stadttheater Basel, from 1925 to 1933 at the Stadttheater Altona. From 1933 to 1936 he worked at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus in Hamburg. Gustav Knuth was appointed state actor in 1935. A year later, he was contracted by the "Preußische Staatstheater" in Berlin, where he stayed until 1945. Since 1935 Knuth also appeared in front of the film camera. He made his film debut as a virile village blacksmith in Der Ammenkönig/The King of the Blackbirds (Hans Steinhoff, 1935). The film became a surprise success and was accompanied by a debate about the "new morals" in Nazi Germany. In the following years, he played mostly quite inconspicuous, plain, and somewhat awkward lovers. These films included Schatten über St. Pauli/Shadows Over St. Pauli (Fritz Kirchhoff, 1938) with Marieluise Claudius, the Krimi Der Vorhang fällt/The Curtain Falls (Georg Jacoby, 1939) starring Anneliese Uhlig, and the drama Zwischen Hamburg und Haiti/Between Hamburg and Haiti (Erich Waschneck, 1940). Knuth also appeared as a shy seaman in Helmut Käutner's Große Freiheit Nr. 7/Great Freedom No. 7 (1943). He considered his best film to be the melancholic Unter den Brücken/Under the bridges, also directed by Helmut Käutner, which was shot in 1944 but not shown until 1946.
Between 1945 and 1949 Knuth worked again at the Deutsches Schauspielhaus Hamburg, among other places. In 1946, the British occupying power appointed him as a representative of the cultural workers in the appointed citizenship of Hamburg. In the first elections to the Bürgerschaft in the same year, he stood as the leading candidate of the 'Freien Kulturpolitischen Bundes' party (Free Cultural-Political Alliance), but was unsuccessful and did not enter parliament. From 1949 he belonged to the ensemble of the Schauspielhaus Zurich. There he played together with Therese Giehse, among others. Friedrich Dürrenmatt wrote the role of the scientist Beutler for Knuth in his play 'Die Physiker'. This play was staged for television in 1964 by Fritz Umgelter with Knuth and Giehse in the roles written for them. In the cinema, he made his comedic signature performances in the comedy Der fröhliche Weinberg/The Grapes Are Ripe (Erich Engel, 1952) and as bribery director Striese in Der Raub der Sabinerinnen/Theft of the Sabines (Kurt Hoffmann, 1954). He also starred in the Sissi trilogy as the grumpy but cheerful Duke Max in Bayern (Sissi's father), alongside Romy and Magda Schneider. Exceptional was his negative role as an arms smuggler in the drama Die Mücke/The Mosquito (Walter Reisch, 1954) starring Hilde Krahl. Furthermore, Knuth played the Puszta stationmaster in Hoffmann"s Ich denke oft an Piroschka/I Often Think of Piroschka (Kurt Hoffmann, 1955), motor carrier Karl John in Die Ratten/The Rats (Robert Siodmak, 1955) with Maria Schell, and the intrusive debaucher in Das kunstseidene Mädchen/The High Life (Julien Duvivier, 1959), starring Giulietta Masina. He transcended his roles with a witty lack of emotional commitment. He was also active from time to time as a radio play narrator. In 1953, for example, he played one of the leading roles as Philip Droste in the third Paul Temple multi-part 'Paul Temple und der Fall Vandyke' (Paul Temple and the Vandyke Case) by crime author Francis Durbridge, directed by Eduard Hermann.
With the breakthrough of television in the 1960s, Gustav Knuth became better known among the general public. As the veterinarian Dr. Hofer in the series Alle meine Tiere/All my animals (Otto Meyer, 1962-1963), he quickly became a public favourite. During the 1960s and 1970s, he was one of the most outstanding German TV actors, playing popular, good-natured characters in numerous films and series. He had further success with the family series Großer Mann, was nun?/Big man, what now? (Eugen York, 1967-1968). In the popular circus series Salto Mortale (Michael Braun, 1969-1972), he played the veteran trapeze performer Carlo Doria, the leader of a family of artists. The 26-part family series Drüben bei Lehmanns (Herbert Ballmann, 1970-1973) with Walter Gross and Brigitte Mira, was also very popular. In 1979 Knuth appeared as Gustav, the last cab driver with a horse-drawn carriage in Berlin in the late 1920s in the TV Mini series Der eiserne Gustav/Iron Gustav (Wolfgang Staudte, 1979). He played his last role in the cinema in Der Bockerer (Franz Antel, 1981). Gustav Knuth was married to Gustl Busch. Their son Klaus (1935-2012) also became an actor. The marriage was dissolved in the 1930s. Then Gustav married his colleague Elisabeth Lennartz. The actress Nicole Knuth is his granddaughter. In 1974, Knuth published his memoirs 'Mit einem Lächeln im Knopfloch'. In 1977, he died from the effects of a heart attack in Küsnacht, near Zurich, Switzerland. Gustav Knuth was 85. His last resting place is in the cemetery of Hinterriet in Küsnacht. He was awarded the Ernst Lubitsch Prize for his artistic performance in Der Lügner (1962). In 1967, 1968, and 1980, he received a Golden Bambi in each case, in 1970 a Silver Bambi. In 1976, he received the Goldene Kamera for his hosting of the celebrity talk show Künstlerstammtisch. For his long-standing and outstanding work in German film, he was awarded the "Goldene Filmband" in 1974.

Soviet postcard by photo department Ed. 'Molot', Rostov-on-Don, no. 109, 1958. The price was 75 K. Among the pictures are from left to right publicity stills for Devushka bez adresa/Girl Without an Address (Eldar Ryazanov, 1958), Zolushka/Cinderella (Nadezhda Kosheverova, Mikhail Shapiro, 1947), (unidentied film), and Nesterka/Nasty (Aleksandr Zarkhi, 1955).
Actor, screenwriter and director Erast Garin (1902-1980) was one of the film stars of the Soviet cinema. Together with Igor Ilyinsky and Sergey Martinson, he was one of the leading comic actors of Vsevolod Meyerhold's theatre company. Later, he was known for such films as Zhenitba (1936), Muzykalnaya istoriya/Musical Story (1940) and Zolushka/Cinderella (1947).
Erast Pavlovich Garin (Russian: Эра́ст Па́влович Га́рин) was born in 1902 in Ryazan as Erast Gerasimov. He started his acting career in 1919 in an amateur theatre of the Ryazan military district. In 1926 he finished his education in the experimental theatrical workshops of the People's Commissariat for Education. He always looked up upon Meyerhold and Michael Chekhov as his mentors, rejecting naturalistic acting techniques propagated by Konstantin Stanislavski and paying utmost importance to voice and gesture. Garin worked with Meyerhold in his theatre until its dissolution in 1936. Among his triumphs was the part of Khlestakov in the 1926 production of The Government Inspector. The trance-like quality of his "grotesquely anxious" performances in Meyerhold's productions could be attributed to an expressionistic acting style. Nikolay Akimov's Theatre of Comedy was the next theatre he worked in.
In 1946, Erast Garin gave up stage performances and concentrated on film acting. In 1941 he was awarded the Stalin Prize for the role of Tarakanov in the film Muzykalnaya istoriya/Musical Story (1940). Half-blindness prevented him from playing any major roles in the 1960s and 1970s. Together with his wife Khesya Lokshina he was director of several films, for which he also contributed scripts. They adapted Mikhail Zoshchenko's novel Respected Comrade in 1930. Garin's memoirs, entitled With Meyerhold, appeared in 1974. He was named People's Artist of the USSR in 1977. Erast Garin died in 1980 in Moscow, USSR.

Da un idea di Giulia Catania, progetto attore/doppiatore. Con l'aiuto di Giorgio Violino e Andrea Marietta. Grazie alla collaborazione di Spazio 211 - Torino. L’attore ci affascina, ci conquista, ci fa scegliere un film. È in grado di condizionare con il suo nome, il suo volto, la sua storia, la scelta di uno spettacolo, di inchiodarci alla poltrona. Poi nel buio, quando il racconto ci trattiene, ecco che la fascinazione del volto perde forza ed è la voce che ci conquista, la sua capacità di trasformare un momento di banali sequenze, in recitazione. La storia diventa rifrangenze, sonorità, una malia. Il volto lentamente si stempera e, da quel momento, l’attore diventa la sua voce e quella voce ci seguirà in altre storie, ritornerà altre volte e sempre riandremo a quelle emozioni che hanno saputo conquistarci. A poco a poco ogni attore si sfuma, perde consistenza, quasi si annulla e di lui resta, rimbalzando per altre opere, per momenti anche brevi, la sua voce, come una eco, come un miraggio. La parte è diventata il tutto e quel tutto sarà eterno, insostituibile. Cadono i capelli spuntano le rughe, il volto diviene meno bello, non è più interessante, ma c’è una parte di quel ritratto di Dorian Gray, in una sala di registrazione, che mai invecchia che sempre resta giovane, magari un po’ più maturo, ma migliora, ogni volta, ad ogni appuntamento. E la bravura di chi dietro lo specchio anima la vita professionale di un attore, spesso viene fraintesa, dimenticata, sottovalutata. Ho voluto con questo mio lavoro restituire un volto a una voce, rendere giustizia e chi è costretto a vivere di riflesso. Sovente, finiamo per amare di più quella voce che quell’attore, anzi quell’attore ci piace proprio per quella voce. Loro danno una vita nuova agli attori che doppiano, io ho voluto restituire una vita a chi riesce a farmi continuare un sogno. Quindi, in questo gioco, ho deciso di far doppiare fisicamente in foto l'attore, in questo caso Alex Polidori, che doppia con la voce e nelle mie foto Tom Holland (Spiderman). L'idea è di fare un progetto più completo con un buon numero di doppiatori che potrebbero prendere parte alla mia idea. Se sei un doppiatore e ti interessa chiamami.
