Born in 1943 in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Victoria Zinny emerged in the late 1960s and early 1970s as a notable figure in cult cinema. She appears in The Legend of Lylah Clare (1968), where she navigates the surreal world of Hollywood's dark underbelly, and Shoot the Living and Pray for the Dead (1971), a film that exemplifies the gritty exploration of exploitation themes. Zinny's performances in Red Hot Shot (1970) and No One Will Notice You're Naked (1971) further solidify her role in shaping the era's provocative narratives, making her a key player in the landscape of grindhouse cinema.
Shoot the Living and Pray for the Dead
Dan Hogan and his gang have held up a bank for $100,000 in gold bars. They meet up at Jackal's Ranch, a weigh station for stage coaches. While waiting for the gold to arrive they encounter a stranger, John Webb, who wants half the gold in exchange for guiding them safely to Mexico. Reluctantly, Dan agrees and they set across the brutal desert for a race to the border with the Rangers hot on their tail. Is John who he says he is? Is he really after the gold or does he have an ulterior motive?
