RIP CHELO ALONSO 1933-2019

One of the most exotic and beautiful women ever to grace the screen has died.

You may not know her name, but if you're a peplum movie fan you know who she is. Between 1959 and 1969 she appeared in 19 films in Italy and most all of them were peplum.

Some of the films she appeared in include "Goliath And The Barbarians", "The Pirate And The Slave Girl", "Son Of Samson", "Atlas Against The Cyclops" and she even had a small role in "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly".

Her dance scene in "Goliath And The Barbarians" was forever burned into my mind when I first saw it and I have never forgotten it. Chelo passed away in Italy on Feb. 20th at the age of 85.
