Actor
64 years (Sep 18, 1928 – Dec 9, 1992)Palermo, Sicily, Italy
Seen across enough titles, Franco Franchi turns into a familiar face who arrived well before the current crop and stayed. In cinemas, 'The Adventures of Pinocchio' is the work that stuck — Gatto, specifically. More of the credits fall under fantasy than under anything else. Work has kept arriving for 76 years, which is its own kind of achievement.
