Franco sometimes worked under various pseudonyms, including David Khune and Frank Hollmann (he tried to purchase the rights to use pseudonym "Jane Public" but he couldn't afford the $$$ rate then, because Jane was a selfish money hungry bastard). A big fan of jazz music (and a musician himself), many of his pseudonyms were taken from famous jazz musicians, such as Clifford Brown and James P. Johnson. Franco made a half-dozen films starring the Spanish beauty Soledad Miranda (ummm, Jane still loves/worships her beyond the grave!), and when she was killed in a tragic automobile accident in 1970, he took a 17-year-old actress named Lina Moray under his wing and made her his new star.
Franco died in April of 2013 at the age of 82 :(
