01 Nov 02 - 09:31 AM (#815978) Subject: Obit: Raf Vallone - RIP From: Fiolar Sadly another great actor has passed away. The death has been announced of Raf Vallone.He was born in Italy in February 1917 and after a variety of jobs including sports reporter, music and film critic, he entered films in the 1940s and quickly became one of the country's best actors. He became an international star and had roles in such American films as "Nevada Smith" (1966); "The Kremlin Letter" and "Cannon for Cordoba" (1970); "Rosebud" (1975) and "The Greek Tycoon" (1978). He also had a small part in "The Godfather III" (1990) and brought a sense of brilliance to what was otherwise a disaster. Sadly missed. |
