Peter Lee Lawrence

Rubio juventud alemana Peter Lee Lawrence, quien hizo su debut sin acreditar en Sergio Leone "Por un puñado de dólares" (1965), fue el héroe en muchos spaghetti western. Su historia cinematográfica corta se puede encerrar en nueve años de Italo-España coproducciones. Sus películas más recientes incluyen el thriller-drama "Giorni d'Amore sul filo di una lama" (1973), donde jugó con su pareja desde hace mucho tiempo, la rubia actriz alemana Erika Blanc, y el horror italiano "Bacio di una morta" (1974) . In 1972 Lawrence began suffering from headaches. Once filming finished on Los Caballeros del Botón de Ancla, he was admitted to the Foundation Jimenez Diaz Hospital in Madrid, where he was operated on by Dr. Sixto Obrador. The surgery was a success, but the biopsy report revealed it was glioblastoma. He moved to Zurich, where, under the auspices of Professor Wolfgang Horst, he began both chemo and radium treatment. On the 25th of March 1974, Lawrence was admitted to the Villa Stuart Clinic in Rome with severe stomach pains. He died on April 20th 1974, at ten past three in the morning. At the time of his death he was married to actress Cristina Galbó.
