Don Bosco - Writings
Written by Albeiro Rodas   
He participated also in movies of director John Cassavetes like Husbands (1970), The Killing of a Chinese Bookie (1976) and Opening Night (1977.) Another noticeable role was Al Capone in a film of Steve Carver and Klein in The Spanish Prisoner (1977) by David Mamet. But for our Salesian world, Gazzara is especially important for his role as Don Bosco (1988) by a story of Ennio de Concini, under the direction of Leandro Castellani. It is considered one of the best movies about the holy educator of the young, while the actor had an extraordinary physical resemblance to Don Bosco. Ben Gazzara was born in New York in 1930 in a Catholic family of Italian origin.

'It's more comfortable for people to think of abortion as a political decision, or a right. But I am not a right. I am a human being. I am the reality. Gently I put the question, if abortion is about women's rights, then where were mine? There was no radical feminist screaming for my rights on that day.'
