Robert Woods(I)

Shortly after the successful sale and release of the movie "Five Thousand Dollars on the Ace", Clint Eastwood arrived in Italy and Spain to begin filming Sergio Leone's "Fist Full Of Dollars"(1965). His break-through Spaghetti Western was also purchased by MGM and 'Europe's Golden Age Of Cinema' had officially begun. During that period, Clint became the most popular icon on the planet and Robert was blessed with the good fortune to travel all over the World to star in over fifty International features, most of them Westerns, before returning to America...

Because of my height, I did most of my own stunts. Only once, doing a lead in Hong Kong on a film called "Savage in the City" with Victor Buono, did I seriously injure myself. John Shadow, the director, asked me to jump from a wall. It was twelve feet, and the surface I had to land on was concrete. I fractured my ankles, but somehow managed to finish the film. It took roughly two years to recover, and I don't and won't do that anymore.
