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.

Mari Pe Castro (19?? - )
She began her career in radio, where, in the 1950s and 1960s, she appeared in many of the radio serials fashionable at that time.
From the beginning of the 1970s, she specialized in dubbing, both in film and television. She is especially remembered for her television dubbing of the characters of Sue Ellen Ewing, (Linda Gray) in Dallas. Ironically, she also voiced 2 other Dallas characters in its beginnings: J.R.'s secretary and lover. Castro also dubbed Susan Bradford (Susan Richardson) in Con 8 basta and Chrissy (Paula Wilcox) in A Man at Home. Especially remembered is her television dubbing of the characters of Laura Ingalls (Melissa Gilbert) in Little House on the Prairie and Willy, La abeja Maya
Her activity during the 70s made her one of the most popular voices of the time, not only in animation but also in all kinds of series, both comedies, dramas and science-fiction. In film she dubbed Farrah Fawcett and Heather Menzies, Barbara Carrera, Goldie Hawn, Angela Lansbury, Susan Lucci and Ali McGraw
Currently, the actress is retired from her profession.
