Spaghetti Western Trivia ~ Remembering Miami

 

When Tomas Milian met co-star Walter Barnes on the set of “The Big Gundown”, Milian told the 6-foot 3-inch Barnes, who played pro football with the champion Philadelphia Eagles in 1948-1949, he was convinced they had met somewhere in the past. After reminiscing for a while, both actors discovered they had been at the University of Miami 10 years before. Milian was a student at Miami while Barnes coached on the football team.

  1. Tomas Milian would later live in Miami permanently. He was originally from Havana, Cuba which is not too far from Miami and is easy to access. My parents have been there as well as the Bahamas and Puerto Rico. Strange thing about Cuba. You can take anything out but you can't bring anything in. Curse you embargo!
