[These daily posts will cover little known actors or people that have appeared in more recent films and TV series. Various degrees of information that I was able to find will be given and anything that you can add would be appreciated.]

 

Sabine Bredemeyer was a German child actress born most likely in 1964. She appeared in only one film, as still a baby, in “Der Ölprinz” (Rampage at Apache Wells – 1965 (baby on raft). What happened is unknown.

There is a woman by the same name that graduated from the University of Heidelberg (Linguistics/ Philology/Law) and founder of the international network “Sabine Bredemeyer & Friends” (2004), who lives near Osnabrück and has been an independent consultant for Holistic Organizational Development, coach, trainer and facilitator since 1987. Since 2020 she recieved a teaching assignment at the University of Applied Sciences Osnabrück on the topic of “Leadership and Team Development”, in which I teach the basics of the Genuine Contact program.

Whether this is our actress is unknown. I found several other women with the same name but no dates of birth were given so it’s anyone’s guess what she’s doing today.

Voices of the Spaghetti Western – “Go With God Gringo”

As we know most of the Euro-westerns were co-productions from Italy, Spain, Germany and France which incorporated British and American actors to gain a worldwide audience. The films were shot silent and then dubbed into the various languages where they were sold for distribution. That means Italian, Spanish, German, French and English voice actors were hired to dub the films. Even actors from the countries where the film was to be shown were often dubbed by voice actors for various reasons such as the actors were already busy making another film, they wanted to be paid additional salaries for dubbing their voices, the actor’s voice didn’t fit the character they were playing, accidents to the actors and in some cases even death before the film could be dubbed.

I’ll list a Euro-western and the (I) Italian, (S) Spanish, (G) German and (F) French, (E) English voices that I can find and once in a while a bio on a specific voice actor as in Europe these actors are as well-known as the actors they voiced.

Little Known Spaghetti Western Actors ~ Pepita Bravo

[These daily posts will cover little known actors or people that have appeared in more recent films and TV series. Various degrees of information that I was able to find will be given and anything that you can add would be appreciated.]

Pepita Bravo is/was either a Spanish or Mexican film actress and songwriter. Bravo appeared in only three films from 1954-1956. Two of those films were westerns: “El coyote” (The Coyote) in 1954 and “La justicia del Coyote” (The Judgment of the Coyote) in 1954 but released in 1955. She was commonly known by her nickname Pepa Bravo.

Other than that, I can only find that she wrote the lyrics to a song called “La Porteñita” which was classified as a Ranchera song and sung by Trio Los Nativos which was recorded in 1929.

Clint Eastwood Settles Debate On The True Color Of His Iconic Poncho

Global News 24 Hours

By Kaylin

April 16, 2024

Clint Eastwood has revealed what color his famous poncho in the Dollars Trilogy was – after almost 50 years of film fanatics guessing.

The veteran actor, who starred in all three films in Sergio Leone’s famous Spaghetti Western films, responded to a question from a user on X, formally known as Twitter, about the final movie in the franchise: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly.

‘Dear “Blondie”,’ the question began from user @Mike_1er. ‘Fundamental question: What is the REAL COLOR of your [poncho] in the Good, Bad, Ugly?’

‘Sometimes Brown sometimes Olive Green on the screens,’ the user continued, urging Eastwood to reply and ‘remove one of my 100 existential questions from my life list.’

Eastwood replied to the pressing question, posting his reply online writing: ‘Hello, I only had one Poncho, and it was reversible, with Olive green on one side and brown on the other.

‘Thank You!’ he concluded the sought-out answer.

The 93-year-old actor from struggling B list actor to bankable star after playing the unnamed nomadic cowboy in Italian filmmakers hit films.

He wore the iconic piece in A Fistful of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More and The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Having the actor who wore it himself respond didn’t stop fans from sharing their own theories about the multicolored poncho.

‘I had a shirt like this. In the store it was an olive drab color. In the sunlight it was medium brown,’ one user shared online.

‘I got so upset that I had bought the wrong shirt that I went back and bought another one – and the same thing happened,’ they added.

‘Good the Bad and the Ugly is on the Right Olive Green / The other photo is from a Man With N0 Name … Used the brown one in several other films,’ another person wrote.

Some thought the color switching could be due to the cameras used when the film was made.

‘It’s brown, the coloring is off in the close-up. His shirt, skin and the dry patches of grass in the background have a bluish green tinge to them compared to the more vibrant picture on the left,’ a film fan commented.

In the first of Sergio Leone’s famous trilogy – Man With No Name – Eastwood’s character who is often called ‘Blondie’ finds the poncho inside a small destroyed chapel next to Sad Hill cemetery and goes on to wear it for the duration of all three films.

The legendary actor and director, now 93-years of age, admits he still owns the iconic poncho worn by the 1966 movie.

Eastwood spoke to Alison Hammond on This Morning in 2020, revealing: ‘I still have that, yeah… it’s sitting in a glass case. Never been washed.’

The filmmaker was spotted attending a speaking event hosted by renowned conservationist Dr. Jane Goodall in his adoptive hometown of Carmel-by-the-Sea late last month.

At 93 years old, the film icon – dressed in blue checkered flannel shirt, gray slacks, and sneakers – appeared advanced in age but still in high spirits, footage obtained by DailyMail.com shows.

Eastwood, who turns 94 next month, has seen a successful storied career in film – and even a two-year stint as mayor of Carmel-by-the-Sea – over a span of seven decades.

Despite his advanced years, Eastwood remains active on set and is currently directing and producing upcoming film, Juror No. 2, starring Nicholas Hoult and Toni Collette.

The thriller began shooting in June 2023 and is expected to be Eastwood’s last.
