Enzo Fiermonte (actually Vincenzo Fiermonte , born July 17, 1908 in Bari , † March 22, 1993 in Mentana ) was an Italian boxer and actor .
Life
Fiermonte first gained attention as a successful boxer in the 1930s. Between November 22, 1925 and September 21, 1934, he entered the ring fifty-six times. He was Italian champion in his weight class and fought often in the United States. The handsome Fiermonte accepted a first film offer in 1941; mostly he was athletic and adventurous guy in costume and period films demand. According to his own material, he celebrated a great public success in Carlo Borghesio's Il campione in 1943, which was even surpassed by Fra 'Diavolo , written a year earlier . Immediately after the Second World War, he played, wrote, directed and edited (for legal reasons under three different names) L'atleta di cristallo , which has strong autobiographical traits, but was only moderately successful.
In the following years he concentrated on acting and played almost 130 roles that became smaller over the years, including many genre films as well as classics like Rocco and his brothers .
Fiermonte's pseudonyms include Mario Del Fante , William Bird, and Glenn Foster .
Fiermonte was married to Madeleine Astor from 1933 to 1938 after divorcing his first wife . The enthusiastic racing driver decided not to start in the Maserati in the 1937 “Vanderbilt Race” after an accident .
