Happy 85th Birthday Aurora Battista
Aurora Battista was born on October 15, 1925, in Villanueva de los Infantes, Spain. Aurora becam a stage actress after studying at Instituto del Teatro in Barcelona. She then became a popular film actress in the 1940s. When she married Hernán Ramón Cristerna, a Mexican doctor in 1963, she left her acting career for a number of years. Among those films were three Euro-westerns. “Deguello” (1965), “$20,000 on Number 7" (1967) and “One by One” (1968). She is often credited for an appearance in “$20,000 for Seven” with Brett Halsey, but this has been confused with “$20,00 on Number 7". Today we celebrate Aurora Battista's 85th birthday.

Actually, the actress who appeared who appeared in a couple of westerns and other Italian movies as Aurora Battista (or Batista) is NOT the same person as the well-known Spanish actress Aurora Bautista. Bautista never made films in Italy as far as I can tell. This is yet another unfortunate case of an IMDb error that has unfortunately spread widely over the internet...
ReplyDeleteExato. Aurora Bautista e Aurora Battista são pessoas diversas...
