Woodrow Wilson Woolwine "Woody" Strode (July 25, 1914 – December 31, 1994) was an African Americandecathlete and football star who went on to become a film actor. He was nominated for a Golden Globe award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Spartacus in 1960. He served in the United States Army during World War II.
Early life and athletic career
Strode was born in Los Angeles, California. He attended Thomas Jefferson High School in South East Los Angeles and college at UCLA, where he was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. His world-class decathlon capabilities were spearheaded by a 50ft (15m) plus shot put (when the world record was 57ft (17m)) and a 6ft 4in (1.93m) high jump (the world record at time was 6ft 10in (2.08m)). Strode posed for a nude portrait, part of Hubert Stowitts's acclaimed exhibition of athletic portraits shown at the 1936 Berlin Olympics (although the inclusion of black and Jewish athletes caused the Nazis to close the exhibit).
Strode, Kenny Washington and Jackie Robinson starred on the 1939 UCLA Bruins football team, in which they made up three of the four backfield players. Along with Ray Bartlett, there were four African-Americans playing for the Bruins, when only a few dozen at all played on other college football teams. They played eventual conference and national champion Southern Cal to a 0–0 tie with the 1940 Rose Bowl on the line. It was the first UCLA–USC rivalry football game with national implications.
Woody Strode, Black Representation and John Ford’s SERGEANT RUTLEDGE
John Ford wasn’t afraid to explore bigotry in his films, but Sergeant Rutledge is a standout and the first big-budget Western to feature a black man as the hero — played by Woody Strode. Released in 1960, when the U.S. was in the early stages of the Civil Rights Movement, the film confronted racial injustice head on.
Film historian and author Donald Bogle explains Ford’s handling of race in the film compared to his previous work and the representation of the real life Buffalo Soldiers of the Old West. See SERGEANT RUTLEDGE (’60) on 7/31 at 10:45pm ET as we continue our spotlight Directed by John Ford.

Bride of the Gorilla - 1951 - Starring Lon Chaney, Woody Strode
Directed by Curt Siodmak
O.K., so this is not a critical classic. In fact, it's oddball, low-budget nonsense. But you have to admit, it's great fun to watch. It's so strange that it forces you to watch it to the very end, just so you can be sure you are not making an error about the preposterous plot you're seeing. It's campy madness and I'de recommend it to anyone interested in the obscure. You will find yourself wondering: How did they ever get Raymond Burr to take such a role?
