Duncan Renaldo’s Success and Death
Renaldo’s career blossomed when he was picked to play The Cisco Kid in the long-running movie series. When it was decided to move the role to the small screen, he was chosen out of the three actors playing the role in films to be the star of the show.
It is for The Cisco Kid which he is best known. His other achievements of note include illustrating a book of poetry called Drifter’s Dreams and appearing on the cover of the band War’s 1974 album “War Live.” He passed away in 1980 at the age of 76 from lung cancer in Goleta, California.
