Talk:Terence Hill

Comment

He lived in Dresden/Germany as a child. ... but anyhow, he's Italian I think. --212.51.10.21 10:43, 12 Oct 2004 (UTC)

He lives in Italy ... so he's definitely Italian! Eligius (talk) 01:06, 22 October 2010 (UTC)

IMD indicates that he did also direct although the article needs to have this edited into it. (Visitor MDW)

I searched Terence Hill in the English Wikipedia out of curiosity and noticed there's a whole lot of repetitive content stated both in the first part of the page and in the section "Career as an adult", you should review it and make your edits to see where you want the content to stay.

Name

The name is completely made up, it is not taken from his wife's. Her real name was Lori Zwicklbauer before they married. Terence Hill stated in an interview that they claimed he took his wife's name because it would make him more popular during the rise of feminism. --Bernd Neuner

Hallo! Do you have some more information on that interview?--Flammingo^Hey 20:33, 28 August 2007 (UTC)

It says his stage name was "the product of a publicity stunt." That could use a little more explanation, if it is anything other than an odd choice of words... lots of other actors use stage names and it hardly qualifies as a publicity stunt for them. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.213.20.170 (talk) 01:15, 29 May 2019 (UTC)

Henry Fonda

Why mention Once Upon a Time in the West and Sergio Leone ? -- Beardo 03:49, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

Filmography

I don't know who had the clever idea of listing the movies in the filmography like this:

• Viale della speranza, Il (1953)

while the movie looks much better like this:

• Il viale della speranza (1953)

I propose to move the articles of several of the movies in front just like for the movie above.

He also did a movie with Bud Spencer in 1973 titled "All the way, boys". It was filmed in Columbia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.17.242.86 (talk) 05:35, 11 June 2011 (UTC)

English Film Titles

Can someone also include the English titles of the films Terence Hill acted in under Filmography? --And93hil (talk) 20:41, 21 May 2012 (UTC)

Private life

In 1995 he visited after German reunification, the first time in fifty years back, the places of his childhood in Lommatzsch / Saxony. Hills grandmother lived near Ortenburg / Bavaria. Up to the age of six Hill spoke only German and called German as his mother tongue. He still speaks the language fluently.

Full Biography

From All Movie Guide: At the height of his considerable popularity, Terence Hill was one of Italy's highest-paid stars. A tall, handsome blonde of German-Italian heritage, Hill was born Mario Girotti (he used his birth name onscreen until 1968). Hill was born in Venice but spent the WWII years living in Dresden, Germany. When he was 12, Hill was '"discovered" during a swim meet by Italian filmmaker Dino Risi who cast him in Vacanze col Gangster (Holiday for Gangsters) (1951). Through the decade, Hill made occasional film appearances to pay for his education and his interest in motorcycles. He spent three years studying literature at the University of Rome before deciding to become a full-time actor working in films ranging from The Wonders of Aladdin (1961) -- the first Hill film to reach the U.S., albeit a decade after its European release -- and Luchino Viconti's Il Gattopardo (The Leopard) (1963). Afterwards, Hill made action films and Westerns in Germany until 1967 when he returned to Italy and appeared in Dio perdona... lo no! He changed his name from Mario Girotti to Terence Hill in 1969. He came up with his name by combining the name of the author of a Latin book, Terenzio, with the maiden name of his American wife, Lori. Hill gained popularity when he co-starred with Bud Spencer in the comic spaghetti Western They Call Me Trinity (1971) and its sequel, Trinity is STILL My Name (1972). Hill and Spencer would work together in some 19 films. Hill made two films in Hollywood, March or Die (1976), starring with Gene Hackman, and Mr. Billion (1976), his first undubbed English-speaking role, in which he starred opposite Valerie Perrine. He was not as successful in the U.S. as in Europe, but eventually he made it his permanent residence. Hill had a minor hit in 1981 with Super Fuzz. In 1983, he added directing to his repertoire. Later in the decade, he also started producing features. ~ Sandra Brennan"

Personal Life

Some one tagged "Hill was married to Lori Hill" asking for clarification because "was" is past tense, and the infobox indicates they are still married. This is a perfect example where the Wikipedia dictum "be bold" applies. Just change it to "is" and do not tag it. "Was" is correct English for people who are still married, but it is confusing, particularly to people whose native language is not English. It is clearer as "is" so I changed it.

A chemist by occupation?

Editor should clarify. In British this probably means pharmacist in American English. In American English a chemist is a scientist who works with chemicals (like having a degree in chemistry from a university), not a pharmacist. (PeacePeace (talk) 00:42, 12 June 2018 (UTC))
