Biography

Born as Angiolino Giuseppe Pasquale Ventura in Parma, Italy to Giovanni Ventura and Luisa Borrini, "Lino" dropped out of school at the age of eight and later took on a variety of jobs. At one point Ventura was pursuing a prizefighting and professional wrestling career but had to end it because of an injury. Despite living most of his life in France, he never acquired French citizenship.^{[citation needed]}

In 1953 Ventura entered the film industry in a gangster movie called Touchez pas au grisbi by Jacques Becker and started to build up an acting career in similar hard boiled gangster movies, often playing beside his friend Jean Gabin. A couple of his most famous roles include the portrait of corrupt police chief Tiger Brown in 1963's The Threepenny Opera and mob boss Vito Genovese in The Valachi Papers.

Although Italian, 'Cento Giorni a Palermo' (1983) was the only film he ever made in his native language, long used to seeing him dubbed into Italian from the original French release.

Ventura remained active until the year before his death from a heart attack in 1987 at the age of 68. He was known for having created a charitable foundation, Snowdrop, in 1966, which supports handicapped people.
