Una Merkel began her movie career as stand-in for Lillian Gish in the movie The Wind (1928). After that, she performed on Broadway before she returned to movies for the D.W. Griffith film Abraham Lincoln (1930). In her early years, before gaining a few pounds, she looked like Lillian Gish, but after Abraham Lincoln (1930) her comic potential was discovered. She mostly played supporting roles as the heroine's no-nonsense friend, but with her broad Southern accent and her peroxide blond hair, she gave one of her best performances as a wisecracking but not-so-bright chorus girl in 42nd Street (1933). Perhaps she is best remembered for her hair-pulling fight with Marlene Dietrich in Destry Rides Again (1939). In 1962, she was nominated for the Academy Award as best supporting actress in Summer and Smoke (1961).- Actor

In the film debuted during the Fascist period interpreting a discreet important role in "13 uomini e un cannone" of Joachim Forzano (1936). Until 1943 he is used in parts of a second or third floor in about twenty films. After a long silence reappears on the screens in 1951; in this decade he is a little active and works almost always hiding behind the pseudonym "John Douglas". In the sixties, on the contrary, his appearances multiply (over forty films), but rarely he has the opportunity to shine, accepting almost always of character roles in genre films. Since the seventies began a more careful selection to films to attend, with particular attention to the most acclaimed directors of the moment such as Bernardo Bertolucci's "Il conformista" for which he plays. Also he dusts off his old pseudonym, turning it into John McDouglas.

Mexican writer who was important in the development of the "magic realism" school of Latin-American fiction. As a child growing up in the rural countryside, he witnessed the horrors of the later Cristero uprisings of 1926-29. His family of prosperous landowners lost a considerable fortune. When moved to Mexico City, Rulfo worked for a rubber company and as a film script writer. Many of the short stories that were later published in "El llano en llamas" (1953) first appeared in the review "Pan"; they depict the violence of the rural environment and the moral stagnation of its people. In them Rulfo first used narrative techniques thet later would be incorporated into the Latin-American new novel, such as the use of interior monologue, stream of consciousness, flashbacks, and shifting points of view. "Pedro Páramo" (1955) treats the physical and moral disintegration of a laconic 'cacique' (boss) and is set in a mythical hell on earth inhabited by dead individuals who are constantly haunted by their past transgressions. From 1933 Rulfo lived in Mexico City. He became director of the editorial department of the National Institute for Indigenous Studies and advised young writers at the 'Centro Mexicano de Escritores'.- Actress
