Guido Lollobrigida (1927–2013) was an Italian actor and race car driver, usually credited in movies as Lee Barton or Lee Burton. He was a cousin of actress Gina Lollobrigida.
Born in Rome, after graduating as a technical engineer Lollobrigida moved to South America, where in 1957 he made his acting debut in a film which was never distributed.[1]
Returned to Italy in the mid-1960s, he immediately started a prolific career in genre films, mainly Spaghetti Westerns and adventure films, sometimes cast in leading roles.[2] Starting from the second half of the 1970s, he significantly slowed his activities.[3]
