Attila (the Hun) There is no surviving first-hand account of Attila's appearance, but there is a possible second-hand source provided by Jordanes, who cites a description given by Priscus.
Short of stature, with a broad chest and a large head; his eyes were small, his beard thin and sprinkled with grey; and he had a flat nose and tanned skin, showing evidence of his origin.
That kinda rules out Jack Palance who played him in "Sign of the Pagan". Palance was 6' 4".

Luca Brasi and Willie Moretti – Moretti allegedly put a gun to Tommy Dorsey's head and told him either his signature or his brains would go on the papers releasing Frank Sinatra from a personal service contract. Moretti was later shot to death in Joe's Elbow Room in in Cliffside Park, New Jersey. Not sure if the Tataglias or the Turk were present!  |

Kiss Me Kate 1953, Cole Porter was played by Ron Randell: That was some rather strange casting, I thought (Randell reminded me of my high school track coach). The part as written was too small for such a name, but it would have been more up David Wayne's alley. |
