Captain Scarlett

Richard Greene (Actor) .. Capt. Carlos Scarlett

Born: August 25, 1918
Died: June 01, 1985

Trivia: Richard Greene was a charming, tall, handsome, dimpled, black-haired British leading man. The son of an actor and actress, in his teens he joined a repertory company. When he was 20 he was brought to Hollywood by 20th Century-Fox as a potential rival to MGM's Robert Taylor. Greene debuted onscreen in 1938 and over the next several years he was a busy leading man, becoming a very popular matinee idol in pretty-boy romantic and swashbuckling leads. His career was interrupted by service in World War II, and when he returned he was unable to regain his momentum, but he continued playing leads in international films for the next decade, and then more sporadically after 1955. He became very famous as the title-role star of the long-running British TV series The Adventures of Robin Hood, which was syndicated world-wide. From 1941-52 Richard Greene was married to actress Patricia Medina.

Leonora Amar (Actor) .. Princess Maria

Born: March 01, 1926

Trivia: A Latin leading lady of extraordinary beauty, Leonora Amar graced a relative handful of movies in a career lasting less than a decade. Born Leonora Amaresco in Brazil, she was the daughter of a wealthy rancher of French descent, and decided on an acting career while still in her teens. She headed to Mexico City and was signed to a film contract in the late '40s. There she made a reported 16 movies over the next six years, using the name Leonora Amar. A handful of her films, including El Mago and Curvas Peligrosas, were released on a limited basis in the United States. A startlingly beautiful woman with a statuesque figure, Amar felt that her appearance and acting ability could carry her career north of the border, and she made one serious attempt at breaking into Hollywood during the early '50s. The result was her only English-language movie, United Artists' release of Captain Scarlett (1953). Shot in Mexico by an American director and producer, the movie, a swashbuckler set in post-Napoleonic France, featured Amar in a dashing role as a swordswoman and the love interest of Robin Hood-like hero Richard Greene. She could have been a perfect female answer to Zorro, based on the athletic ability that she showed in that movie, but Amar had much bigger plans for her career. She intended to do movies based on the lives of such powerful women as Eva Peron and Marie Antoinette, but she was never able to attract the attention of producers or the financing for them. She retired from movie work following Captain Scarlett.

English-language films in which Fabregas appeared in include Candy Man (1979) and most notably Two Mules for Sister Sara (1969), in which he played opposite Shirley MacLaine and Clint Eastwood.
