Spanish postcard by Ediciones Raker, no. 172. Jeanne Valérie in El último verano/The Last Summer (Juan Bosch, 1962).
French actress Jeanne Valérie (1941-2020) made her debuit in Roger Vadim's Les Liaisons Dangereuses (1959) and whent on to star in a string of French and Italian films during the 1960s.
Jeanne Valérie was born in Paris in 1941 under the full name of Micheline Yvette Bellec, and was adopted eight years later by her mother's husband, Christian Voituriez. In 1959 she made her film debut as Cécile de Volanges in Roger Vadim's Les Liaisons Dangereuses, one of the most anticipated French films of the year, acting opposite Jeanne Moreau and Gérard Philipe. Valérie had previously only made two extra appearances because "it just happened", in films starring Dario Moreno or Annie Cordy. As Céline Colassin writes on Cine-Artistes: "Her awkwardness as a novice in the acting profession adds to her touching and youthful grace. With her very particular phrasing and her eternally sulky face, Jeanne Valérie is a magnificent Cécile de Volanges. And those who find her exasperating forget that this is the characteristic of all young girls of her age, and of Mademoiselle de Volanges in particular! But moreover, Jeanne Valérie corresponds to the young girl of 1960, still imbued with good manners, very "old France" and with a patina of a rigid education, but eager for freedom, consumed by a thirst for life and for finally being a woman. She wants to wear pretty dresses, to dance, to sunbathe, to drink scotch, to get to know boys, and to finally say "screw it" to Mum and Dad."
In the same year, Valérie had a major part in Web of Passion/À double tour (Claude Chabrol, 1959) with Jean-Paul Belmondo. In 1960 Valérie became the title character in the Italian peplum film Salammbô/The Loves of Salammbo (Sergio Grieco, 1960) opposite Jacques Sernas, the most adorable of partners, as Matho, and Edmund Purdom as Narr Havas. After the prostitution film I piaceri del sabato notte (Daniele D'Anza, 1960) with Andreina Pagnani as madam, Labbra rosse (Giuseppe Bennati, 1960) with Gabriele Ferzetti, and the proto-Viagra comedy Le pillole di Ercole (Luciano Salce, 1960), she acted opposite Jean Sorel in the Pasolinian Una giornata balorda/ From a Roman Balcony (1960) by Mauro Bolognini and based on Moravia. She then did two films in Spain, Siega verde (Rafael Gil, 1961) and El último verano (Julian Bosch, 1962), alternated with more work in Italy, with director Alberto Lattuada, and France with Robert Hossein. Valérie then slipped to the set of the Franco-Austrian film Julia, du bist zauberhaft/ Adorable Julia (Alfred Weidenmann, 1962), luring the handsome Jean Sorel away from star Lilli Palmer's bed. The pretty Jeanne continued a strong and interesting career in film and television. It was Italy that most often called on her services. Throughout the 1960s, she was an actress who was as present on the screen as she was absent from the columns of the tabloids. She worked with Jean-Paul Le Chanois, Jacqueline Audry, Maurice Cloche and Ettore Scola, and also played opposite some of the most famous actors in the world, such as Vittorio Gassman, Anouk Aimée, Fernando Rey, Eddie Constantine, Franco Nero, Salvo Randone, Horts Frank, Suzanne Flon, Nino Manfredi, Ginette Leclerc, Vittorio De Sica, Philippe Noiret, Francis Blanche, Gérard Blain, Jean Rochefort, Julian Sands and Tchéky Karyo.
Colassin: "In 1969, Jeanne Valérie was part of the sad adventure of "Joe Caligula" - Joë Caligula - Du suif chez les dabes (José Bénazéraf, 1969) - with Gérard Blain and Ginette Leclerc, who was making her comeback and was counting on the film to get back on track. A film that unfortunately took forever to find a distributor. Described as an "Erotico-intello" film, it had a very confidential career before becoming a success of curiosity if not of esteem. This was the moment that Jeanne Valérie chose to literally disappear from the public scene. She was only seen twice or three times in... forty years. It's almost impossible to believe, and yet, at the age of 27, she gave up everything!" Though Valérie's main career indeed halted in 1969, Colassin is not entirely complete, as Valérie still played two occasional supporting parts in Liliana Cavani's La pelle (1981) and in Bolognini's La villa del venerdì (1991). Her last acting was in four episodes of the TV series La famiglia Ricordi (1995). Yet, while would remain to be remembered as the screen twin from the sixties, Valérie married and became the mother of four children. While others kept hoping for a comeback, she became a painter, until cancer killed her. Surrounded by her children, Valérie died in 2020.

Spanish postcard by Ediciones Raker, Barcelona, no. 129. Photo: Warner Bros. Publicity still for Sergeant Rutledge (John Ford, 1960).
American actor Jeffrey Hunter (1926-1969) was the tall, blue-eyed, and impossibly good-looking heartthrob of many Hollywood films of the 1950s. During the 1960s, he also worked in European cinema.
Jeffrey Hunter was born Henry Herman McKinnies Jr. in 1926 in New Orleans, Louisiana, an only child. His parents met at the University of Arkansas, and when he was almost four his family moved to Milwaukee, Wisconsin. In his teens, he acted in productions of the North Shore Children's Theater, and from 1942 to 1944 performed in summer stock with the local Port Players, along with Eileen Heckart, Charlotte Rae, and Morton DaCosta, and was a radio actor at WTMJ, getting his first professional paycheck in 1945 for the wartime series Those Who Serve. After graduation from Whitefish Bay High School, where he was co-captain of the football team, he enlisted in the United States Navy and underwent training at Great Lakes Naval Station, Illinois, in 1945-1946. However, on the eve of his transfer to duty in Japan, he took ill and received a medical discharge from the service. Hunter attended and graduated from Northwestern University in Illinois with a bachelor's degree in 1949, where he acquired more stage experience in Sheridan's The Rivals and Ruth Gordon's Years Ago. He also did summer stock with Northwestern students at Eagles Mere, Pennsylvania in 1948, worked on two Northwestern Radio Playshop broadcasts, was president of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity, and was active in the campus film society with David Bradley, later acting in Bradley's production of Julius Caesar (1950). He went to graduate school at the University of California, Los Angeles, where he studied radio and drama. He was in the cast of a UCLA production of All My Sons in May 1950, and on opening night talent scouts for Paramount and 20th Century Fox in the audience zeroed in on the tall, blue-eyed, and impossibly good-looking Hunter.
Jeffrey Hunter made a screen test with Ed Begley in a scene from All My Sons at Paramount where he met Barbara Rush, his future wife. An executive shake-up at that studio derailed his hiring, but in 1950, 20th Century-Fox head Darryl F. Zanuck signed him to a contract and changed his name from Henry Herman McKinnies Jr to Jeffrey Hunter. He was almost immediately sent on location in New York for Fourteen Hours (Henry Hathaway, 1951) with Richard Basehart. Hunter was kept fairly busy in pictures, working his way from featured roles to starring roles to first billing within two years in the British film Single-Handed (Roy Boulting, 1953). His big break came with The Searchers (John Ford, 1956), where he played the young cowboy who accompanies John Wayne on his search for a child kidnapped by Comanches. Hunter got excellent reviews for his performance in this film and justifiably so, as he held his own well with the veteran Wayne. Starring roles in two more John Ford movies followed, and in 1960 Hunter had one of his best roles in Hell to Eternity (Phil Karlson, 1960), the true story of World War II hero Guy Gabaldon. That same year, Hunter landed the role for which he is probably best known (although it's far from his best work) when he played the Son of God in King of Kings (Nicholas Ray, 1961). After the cancellation of his Western series Temple Houston (1963) his career took a downturn. He was cast as Christopher Pike, captain of the USS Enterprise, in the original Star Trek pilot in 1964. However, when an undecided NBC requested a second pilot in early 1965, Hunter declined, having decided to concentrate on his film career, instead. He worked in Italy where he starred in Oro per i Cesari/Gold for the Caesars (André De Toth, Sabatino Ciuffini, 1963) and the Spaghetti Western Joe... cercati un posto per morire!/Find a Place to Die! ( Giuliano Carnimeo, 1968). In 1969, Hunter suffered a stroke (after just recovering from an earlier stroke), took a bad fall, and underwent emergency surgery, but died from complications of both the fall and the surgery.

Spanish postcard by Ediciones Raker, Barcelona, no. 289. Photo: Sal Mineo in Escape from Zahrain (Ronald Neame, 1962).
American actor Sal Mineo (1939-1976) was a teen idol during the late 1950s. He shot to fame as Plato in the classic Rebel Without a Cause (1955) featuring James Dean. Diminutive and sad-eyed, his performance struck a chord with audiences as well as critics, earning him an Oscar nomination. He co-starred again with Dean in Giant (1956) and with Paul Newman in Somebody up There Likes Me (1956), and Exodus (1960).
Salvatore Mineo Jr. was born in 1939 in The Bronx, New York City. His parents were Josephine and Sal Sr. Mineo, a casket maker. They had emigrated to the U.S. from Sicily. His siblings were Michael, Victor, and Sarina Mineo, who would also work as actors. Sal was thrown out of parochial school and, by age eight, was a member of a street gang in a tough Bronx neighbourhood. His mother enrolled him in dancing school and, after being arrested for robbery at age ten, he was given a choice of juvenile confinement or professional acting school. He soon appeared in the theatrical production 'The Rose Tattoo' with Maureen Stapleton and Eli Wallach and as the young prince in 'The King and I' with Gertrude Lawrence and Yul Brynner. At age 16 he played a much younger boy in Six Bridges to Cross (Joseph Pevney, 1955) with Tony Curtis. Later that same year, he played Plato, a sensitive teenager smitten with the main character, Jim Stark (James Dean), in Rebel Without a Cause (Nicholas Ray, 1955). He was nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his performance. Mineo received thousands of letters from young female fans and was mobbed by them at public appearances. He co-starred again with Dean in Giant (George Stevens, 1956) and with Paul Newman in Somebody up There Likes Me (Robert Wise, 1956). Many of his other roles were variations of his role in Rebel Without a Cause, and he was typecast as a troubled teen. In 1957, he tried to start a career as a rock-and-roll singer. He released two singles. The first was 'Start Movin' (In My Direction)', which stayed in the US top 40 for 13 weeks and reached the #9 position. The second was 'Lasting Love', which stayed on the charts for three weeks and reached #27. The singles were followed up by an album on the Epic label.
In 1959, Sal Mineo starred as the titular jazz drummer in The Gene Krupa Story (Don Weis, 1959), and a year later earned a Golden Globe and his second Oscar nomination for his role as Dov Landau, a Jewish Holocaust survivor, in Exodus (Otto Prerminger, 1960). Another box office hit was the war epic The Longest Day (Ken Annakin, Andrew Marton, Bernhard Wicki, 1962) in which he was one of the 42 stars. He played a paratrooper killed by a German after the landing in Sainte-Mère-Église. By then, Mineo was becoming too old to play the type of role that had made him famous, and his rumoured homosexuality led to his being considered inappropriate for leading roles. He had a long, on-and-off relationship with his young Exodus co-star Jill Haworth. She was 15 and he was 21 at the time. In 1972, he came out as bisexual in an interview. In 1969, expanding his repertoire, Mineo returned to the theatre to direct and star in the gay-themed prison drama 'Fortune and Men's Eyes' with successful runs in both New York and Los Angeles. He played Rocky, a prison bully who rapes the naive, blond prisoner Smitty, played by the young Don Johnson, pre-Miami Vice. On-screen he had roles as Red Shirt in the epic Western Cheyenne Autumn (John Ford, 1964) starring Richard Widmark, as Uriah in The Greatest Story Ever Told (George Stevens, 1965), and in his last film role as monkey Dr. Milo in Escape From the Planet of the Apes (Don Taylor, 1971). On television, he appeared with Henry Fonda in the Western Stranger on the Run (Don Siegel, 1967). In 1975 he returned to the stage in the San Francisco hit production of 'P.S. Your Cat Is Dead'. Preparing to open the play in Los Angeles with Keir Dullea, he returned home from rehearsal the evening of 12 February 1976 when he was attacked and stabbed to death by a stranger on the streets of West Hollywood. A drug-addled 17-year-old drifter named Lionel Ray Williams was arrested for the crime. He had no idea who Mineo was and was only interested in the money he had on him. After a trial in 1979, Williams was convicted and sentenced to life in prison for killing Mineo and for committing 10 robberies in the same area. He was paroled in 1990. Easygoing, extroverted Sal Mineo was only 37 years old when his life came to this tragic end. He was laid to rest near his brother Michael Mineo at Gate of Heaven Cemetery in Hawthorne, New York. At the time of his death, he was in a six-year relationship with male actor Courtney Burr III.

American film actor Richard Dix (1893–1949) achieved popularity in both silent and sound film, first as the rugged and stalwart hero in countless Westerns, then dramatic features such as the Cecil B. DeMille's The Ten Commandments (1923). After his years of silent film at Paramount, and thanks to his deep voice and commanding presence, he became a well-known star at RKO in the 1930s. He was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his lead role in the Best Picture-winning epic, Cimarron (1931).
