Rodolfo Arena
Rodolfo Arena (Rio de Janeiro, 15 de dezembro de 1910 — Rio de Janeiro, 31 de agosto de 1980) foi um ator brasileiro. Um dos atores mais atuantes do cinema brasileiro começou sua carreira nos picadeiros de circo. Na década de 1930 trocou o circo pelo palcos de teatro e a partir daí fez uma carreira vitoriosa que inclui quase 100 filmes, algumas novelas e mais de 300 peças. Rodolfo Arena foi vítima de um fulminante enfarte a caminho de casa, no Rio de Janeiro, às vésperas da estréia do filme "Bububu no Bobobó", que fez com Ângela Leal, e do início dos ensaios do espetáculo "Dom Quixote de La Pança" que faria sob a direção de Stepan Nercessian.
