1. "Henry Silva" Marker

Inscription. An actor who rose to prominence in the 50's and 60's was vile Henry Silva. With his icy stare and menacing features it increased his popularity and fan base. In 1968 Henry was in Kanab all summer long with work on "Daniel Boone", "The Plainsman", "The Reward", The Bravados", and his break thru film "Sergent Three", with Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. Henry was in great demand for his services. He starred in "Johnny Cool", a hard edged gangster film. Seldom out of work, Henry was kept busy on T.V. and feature films in Europe and America. Henry is well remembered and admired for his body of work.
