BENDAYÁN, AMADOR

diminutive Venezuelan comic actor, brought to Mexico in the 1960s to appear in comedies - includingSi yo fuera millonario('62, with María Félix) - in order to broaden their appeal in his home country. He had been in the occasional Venezuelan film as early as 1950, but was still extremely youthful in appearance even into the early '70s. There is a street in Caracas named in his honor.
