MINI BIO:
Back in the 1950s, American-born (of Lebanese ancestry) Ansara vied with the Australian Michael Pate as the actor most likely to be found in action pictures as Red Indians or ruthless, bearded Middle Eastern despots. Ever ready with a sword or an arrow, his handsome, olive-complexioned, rather cruel-looking features propelled him into a whole run of powerful villains, and it was no surprise when he turned up as Cochise in a TV series based on the film Broken Arrow. Married to actress Barbara Eden from 1958 to 1973; earlier married to actress Jean Byron.
