Timeline
Strode posed for one of two paintings commissioned by Adolf Hitler for the 1936 Olympic Games in Berlin.
Strode played college football for the UCLA Bruins, the most integrated collegiate team in the nation in 1939, which included future NFL running back Kenny Washington and future Baseball Hall of Fame inductee Jackie Robinson.
In the 1940's, at the beginning of the Golden Age of Professional Wrestling on Television, Woody Strode entered the Mat Game, campaigning as a "Baby Face" (Hero) as opposed to the "Heel" (Villain). He was both successful and a popular draw; but gave up wrestling due to his popularity in motion pictures.
Strode was one of the first four blacks who integrated professional football in 1946. The others were Bill Willis and Marion Motley of the Cleveland Browns (All America Football Conference [AAFC]), and fellow NFL Los Angeles Ram Kenny Washington.
Strode played for the Calgary Stampeders in the Canadian Football League from 1948-1949 before moving back to the United States and beginning his film career.
According to Disneyland Vice President Tony Baxter, "In 1954, Harper Goeff, the designer of the Jungle Cruise at Disneyland, hired Woody to make a mold of his great muscularity for the African natives in that ride. Goeff also used the same mold for the bodies of Frontierland's Native Americans, too.".
He has appeared in four films that have been selected for the National Film Registry by the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically or aesthetically" significant: The Ten Commandments (1956), Spartacus (1960), The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance (1962) and Once Upon a Time in the West (1968).
Reportedly, his favorite film from his career was Sergeant Rutledge (1960).
According to John Capouya's biography of Gorgeous George, Woody paid him a visit late in 1963, and was shocked and saddened to see the extent of his old friend's decline.
On the highly macho set of The Professionals (1966), Burt Lancaster, widely known to be a very physically strong man, frequently challenged Strode to contests of strength and was allegedly despondent to be repeatedly bested by Strode.
The May 6, 1970, issue of Variety, in the Italian Films Shooting column, lists the movie Violence presently filming in Morocco, director Damiano Damiani, actors Susan Strasberg, Farley Granger, Woody Strode, Adolfo Celi, Terence Hill. Producers Nyima Films and Western Intl. of Los Angeles. Distributor Paris-Etoile. No evidence the film was completed or distributed.
Inducted into the UCLA Athletic Hall of Fame in 1992.
Inducted into the National Multicultural Western Heritage Museum and Hall of Fame in 2012-2013.
