Estelita, Charlita, and John Wayne* (video)

*(And Howard Hawks and William Beaudine)

Cuban actress Estelita Rodriguez appeared with John Wayne in Howard Hawks' "Rio Bravo" (1958).

In 1966, Estelita co-starred in "Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter"...which was directed by William Beaudine.

Beaudine had earlier directed Bela Lugosi, along with Sammy Petrillo and Duke Mitchell in "Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla" (1952), featuring actress Charlita.

Beaudine also directed "Billy the Kid Meets Dracula" in 1966--again with Charlita. 

And in 1967, Charlita appeared with John Wayne in Howard Hawks' "Rio Bravo" remake, "El Dorado."

Sammy Petrillo's Bit Part in "The Brain That Wouldn't Die" (1962) (video)

Comedian Sammy Petrillo imitated Jerry Lewis in his comedy act with singer Duke Mitchell.

Their main claim to fame was the 1952 film "Bela Lugosi Meets a Brooklyn Gorilla."

Ten years later, he'd pop up in a non-speaking bit part in "The Brain That Wouldn't Die."

He can be briefly seen as an amateur shutterbug during an "artistic" posing session.
