Great list Kir.
Kennedy won an Oscar for his roll(Drag Line) in Cool Hand Luke. Maybe others there have also but I don't know of any.

I still remember that original 'D.O.A.' as I watched it as a kid in the 50's. Must have made quite an impression on me since O'Brien died at the end of the movie. Have not seen it since.
Bob Steele 'Duffy' on F Troop was a leading actor in his early movies. Whenever he got into a fight with a bad guy, he was always punching towards their stomach. He was a short, but good looking actor with curly hair.
I got the book, "Names you Never Remember, With Faces you Never Forget" from the library a several weeks ago. Interesting!
While many might be 'character' actors, there are a couple who won 'Oscars' for their acting ability. Victor McLaglen for Best Actor in "The Informer" (although my fave movie of his was his role in 'Gunga Din') and Thomas Mitchell Best Supporting Actor in "Stagecoach"
I have "The Informer" taped. We were going to show it on St Paddy's Day, but we got too drunk on Bushmill's Black Bush! Watched The Quiet Man" instead (also with McLaglen).

Wes Studi is still with us.
i was mildliy active in the Native American movement in the 1980's and a Cherokee friend got us tickets to the Native American premiere of "Dances with Wolves". First time my wife had NdN Tacos! Studi was there and I got a chance to talk to him for a few minutes. Costner stood us all up. Met him later and he was an arrogant jerk!

I just learned the name of a "Also starring....." actor, Olin Howland. Know him? He was the one bragging how well he knew Quirt Evans (Joh Wayne) in "The Angel and the Badman."

Angel and the Badman I like to watch for two reasons. Harry Carey who mentions his horse's name: Jughead and the most beautiful Gail Russell!

Few more pics. There appears to be a Spanish word Mocinhas (the women) and Mocinhos (men) and sidekicks. I was unable to exactly define the word Mocinhas with Google.

The printing was too small on the western movie characters, but I am sure most of you know most of the characters...
Do you have any interesting or obscure facts about the above?
Duncan Reynaldo (Cisco Kid) was born in Romania.
Glenn Strange played the Frankenstein Monster after Boris Karloff and was the bartender in "Gunsmoke"
The picture of 'Susan Cabot' doesn't look like her. I think it is someone else???
