Whitey Hughes(1920-2009)

Oklahoma-born, one of the smallest of Hollywood stuntmen, he often doubled as a woman, most notably in El especialista del peligro (1980), in which he can be seen in a dress, jumping over a cliff while holding an umbrella. A regular member of Sam Peckinpah's company, he often acted small speaking roles as well as supervising stunts and wrangling for the director. An expert driver, pilot, horseman and motorcyclist, he is one of the nefarious gang members who surround Marlon Brando in El salvaje (1953).

[on Frank Ellis] I remembered Frank as somebody I hated when I was younger going to the movies, then when I met him he was such a nice, friendly man.
