🌙 Zodiac

Don Edmonds’s zodiac sign is Virgo. According to astrologers, Virgos are always paying attention to the smallest details and their deep sense of humanity makes them one of the most careful signs of the zodiac. Their methodical approach to life ensures that nothing is left to chance, and although they are often tender, their heart might be closed for the outer world. This is a sign often misunderstood, not because they lack the ability to express, but because they won’t accept their feelings as valid, true, or even relevant when opposed to reason. The symbolism behind the name speaks well of their nature, born with a feeling they are experiencing everything for the first time.

Takes comfort in friends and family and is a reliable, protective and strong companion. Compatible with Snake or Rooster.

Don Edmonds was born on September 1, 1937, in Kansas City, MO. He came to Hollywood in the mid to late 1950s. He studied acting with noted acting coach Estelle Harmon and began performing in various California stage productions.

His initial forays into television acting included such live TV shows as Playhouse 90 (1956), Studio One in Hollywood (1948) and The Loretta Young Show (1953). He was usually cast as a goofy sidekick in such "beach party"-type movies as Gidget Goes Hawaiian (1961), Beach Ball (1965) and Wild Wild Winter (1966).

He has made guest appearances on such TV shows as Hunter (1984), Green Acres (1965), Combat! (1962), Petticoat Junction (1963), The Munsters (1964), Gidget (1965) and Father Knows Best (1954).Edmonds made his directorial debut with the soft-core features Wild Honey (1972) and Tender Loving Care (1973).

He achieved his greatest enduring cult exploitation cinema popularity by directing the infamous Nazisploitation classic Ilsa: She Wolf of the SS (1975) and its marvelously outrageous sequel Ilsa, Harem Keeper of the Oil Sheiks (1976).

After "Ilsa" Edmonds went on to direct the superbly gritty urban action winner Bare Knuckles (1977), the cruddy slasher horror entry Terror on Tour (1980), the action comedy Tomcat Angels (1991) and the pilot of the TV series Silk Stalkings (1991).

As the vice president of production at Producers Sales Organization, Don was responsible for getting movies like Short Circuit (1986), 8 Million Ways to Die (1986) and The Clan of the Cave Bear (1986) greenlit and subsequently made.

He has also been involved as either a producer, co-producer or executive producer on a sizable number of pictures, including Larceny (2004), Fast Money (1996), True Romance (1993) (he was part of the production team that helped Quentin Tarantino get his early professional filmmaking career off and running), Skeeter (1993) and The Night Stalker (1986).
