== Biography ==

Italian-born Mario Lastrucci immigrated to South Africa as a child with his parents, Alfredo and Caterina, and became a South African citizen in 1955. He was trained as a motor mechanic, but then became a professional boxer. However, after his friend Jimmy Elliott was killed in the ring, he hung up his gloves. In the early sixties he acted in three movies: uncredited in [[Emil Nofal]]’s ''[[Hou die Blink Kant Bo]]'' (1960), followed by two films for [[Al Debbo]], ''[[Boerboel de Wet]]'' (1961) and ''[[Tom Dirk en Herrie]]'' (1962). After that he moved into the music industry, first as a jazz drummer and then as a disc jockey in Johannesburg, Durban and Cape Town, a time when he was known as “Babyshoes”. In 1972 he was briefly in the news when, at the age of 39, he and 19-year-old Gail Jones were married against her parents’ wishes. In 1985 he appeared in the television series ''[[Seeduiker]]'', directed by [[Jan Engelen]], which was released after his death.
