Henry Darrow: Lightning in the Bottle

Henry Darrow (born Enrique Tomás Delgado) catapulted to international stardom in 1967 as sexy, complex "Manolito Montoya" in the western The High Chaparral. He was the first actor of Puerto Rican heritage to star in a television series. "Henry survived and had a career when if you were Latino, you couldn't be just good, you had to be beyond great and that's Henry," says noted writer/entertainer Rick Najera. At the height of his fame Darrow put his career on the line to open doors for other Hispanics. He has continued to break ground for over fifty years as a working actor and was recently featured on the PBS series Pioneers of Television. LIGHTNING IN THE BOTTLE is the must-read portrait of this inspirational, fiercely determined, endearing and enduring Emmy-winning performer.
