13 Silvia Solar “Miss Western” [archived newspaper article]

 

1965

And the Westerns keep coming. Silvia Solar continues appearing among cowboys and saloons.

You must be a regular in every Western filmed in Colmenar.

Not every single one. Don't exaggerate. I've only done five, although I admit, of course, that five in less than a year is a lot of Westerns. They call me, I suppose, because I'm more the ideal type for the characters in those films.

What other roles do you see yourself in?

I'm getting a bit tired of those awful movies. I'd really love to do a comedy. I can say that I still haven't found my ideal role.

Is it just bad luck, or perhaps ot yopu’re not very demanding?

I can't blame bad luck because I'm constantly working, and of course, if I don't like a script, I don't do it.

Are you more concerned about the script or the director?

Both. The real mastermind is the director, and it's rare for a good director to agree to direct a bad script.

You're French, what did you do in your country?

I took courses at the Conservatory of Arts and worked in theater and television. I came to Spain to star in "Los clarines del miedo" (The Bugles of Fear). Love blossomed, I got married, we settled in Madrid, and I started getting film offers.

And there are…

Seventeen. As soon as I finish "El dedo en el gatillo" (The Finger on the Trigger), I'll start my 18th with Elorrieta, and, true to form, it will be another western.
