Dari Wikipedia, ensiklopedia gratis Andrew W. "Andy" Sidaris (20 Februari 1931 – 7 Maret 2007) adalah seorang sutradara, produser film, aktor, dan penulis skenario televisi dan film Amerika. Sidari terkenal karena serial film B Bullets, Bombs, and Babes atau Bullets, Bombs, and Boobs (disingkat BBB) yang diproduksi antara tahun 1985 dan 1998. Film-film ini menampilkan "perusahaan saham" bergilir yang terdiri dari para aktor yang sebagian besar terdiri dari Playboy Playmates dan Penthouse "Pets", termasuk Julie Strain, Dona Speir, Hope Marie Carlton, Cynthia Brimhall, Roberta Vasquez, Julie K. Smith, Shae Marks, dan Wendy Hamilton. Beberapa filmnya dibuat seluruhnya atau sebagian besar di Shreveport menggunakan banyak aktor lokal atau aktor yang memiliki ikatan lokal. Sebelum film B, Sidaris adalah pionir televisi olahraga. Dia mengarahkan liputan ratusan pertandingan sepak bola dan bola basket, acara Olimpiade, dan program khusus dan memenangkan tujuh penghargaan Emmy atas karyanya di lapangan. Karyanya yang paling terkenal adalah dengan ABC's Wide World of Sports; dia adalah sutradara pertama acara tersebut, dan melanjutkan jabatan tersebut selama 25 tahun. Sidari memelopori apa yang disebutnya "tembakan madu", gambar close-up pemandu sorak dan gadis cantik di tribun acara olahraga. Dia memenangkan Penghargaan Emmy pada tahun 1969 untuk mengarahkan Olimpiade Musim Panas. Ia melebarkan sayap ke dunia televisi dramatis pada tahun 1970-an, menyutradarai episode-episode program seperti Gemini Man (1976), Kojak dari CBS (pertengahan 1970-an), The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries dari ABC (akhir 1970-an) dan Monday Night Football dari ABC. Dia berekspansi ke dunia film, mengkhususkan diri dalam film aksi yang menampilkan Playboy Playmates dan Penthouse Pets yang membawa senjata montok dengan judul seperti Fit to Kill dan Savage Beach. Sebagian besar serial "Triple B" Sidari (yang kemudian diberi judul L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies) berfokus pada petualangan tim agen rahasia dan sebagian besar difilmkan di Hawaii. Beberapa entri dalam serial ini hanya diproduksi olehnya dan ditulis serta disutradarai oleh orang lain. Meskipun serial tersebut menampilkan karakter yang berulang, kesinambungan antar film bukanlah prioritas dan merupakan hal yang umum bagi seorang aktris yang berperan sebagai penjahat (dan terbunuh) dalam satu film untuk muncul kembali di film berikutnya sebagai pahlawan. Dengan istrinya, Arlene T. Sidari (lahir sekitar tahun 1942) sebagai rekan produksinya, Sidari membuat dua belas film. Setelah kematian Sidari, dia menjalankan situs resmi dari dua belas filmnya.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Andrew W. "Andy" Sidaris (February 20, 1931 – March 7, 2007) was an American television and film director, film producer, actor, and screenwriter. Sidaris was best known for his Bullets, Bombs, and Babes or Bullets, Bombs, and Boobs (BBB for short) series of B-movies produced between 1985 and 1998. These films featured a rotating "stock company" of actors mostly made up of Playboy Playmates and Penthouse "Pets", including Julie Strain, Dona Speir, Hope Marie Carlton, Cynthia Brimhall, Roberta Vasquez, Julie K. Smith, Shae Marks, and Wendy Hamilton. Several of his films were done wholly or largely in Shreveport using many local actors or actors with local ties. Before the B-movies, Sidaris was a pioneer in sports television. He directed coverage of hundreds of football and basketball games, Olympic events, and special programs and won seven Emmy awards for his work in the field. His best known work was with ABC's Wide World of Sports; he was the show's first director, and continued in that post for 25 years. Sidaris pioneered what he called the "honey shot", close-ups of cheerleaders and pretty girls in the stands at sporting events. He won an Emmy Award in 1969 for directing the Summer Olympics. He expanded into dramatic television in the 1970s, directing episodes of programs like Gemini Man (1976), CBS's Kojak (mid-1970s), ABC's The Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew Mysteries (late-1970s) and ABC's Monday Night Football. He expanded into film, specializing in action flicks featuring buxom gun-toting Playboy Playmates and Penthouse Pets with titles like Fit to Kill and Savage Beach. Most of Sidaris' "Triple B" series (later given the title L.E.T.H.A.L. Ladies) focused on the adventures of a team of secret agents and were mostly filmed in Hawaii. Several entries in the series were merely produced by him and were written and directed by others. Although the series featured recurring characters, continuity between films was not a priority and it was common for an actress who played a villain (and was killed off) in one film to re-appear in a subsequent film as a hero. With his wife, Arlene T. Sidaris (born ca. 1942) as his production partner, Sidaris made twelve films. After Sidaris' death, she runs the official websites of his twelve films.
