Robert Vaughn Facts
Despite the vastly different settings, he played essentially the same character in both The Magnificent Seven (1960) and Battle Beyond the Stars (1980). Both films were unofficial re-makes of Seven Samurai (1954).

Education: North High, Minneapolis. University of Minnesota (Journalism major), quit after a year. Moved to Los Angeles and enrolled in L.A. City College majoring in drama, then transferred to California State University at Los Angeles and completed his Masters degree. After that, and while he was acting throughout the 1960s and into the 1970s, he studied at the University of Southern California and completed a Ph.D. in Communications. His thesis on the blacklisting of Hollywood entertainers during the McCarthy anti-communist era was published in 1972 as "Only Victims".

Out of the many films he has made, there were two which he was convinced would be unwatchable box-office poison whilst making them: The Magnificent Seven (1960) and Bullitt (1968).
