Spaghetti Western Trivia ~ Gemma’s Scar

Giuliano Gemma was one of Italy’s most beloved actors and a true legendary star of the Spaghetti Western genre in Rome in 1938. One day as a young boy he was playing in a field when he found a still-live explosive from World War II. It exploded in his face, causing a scar on his left cheek that was still visible years later when he started his film career in Spaghetti westerns.
