From Wikipedia, the free Encyclopedia Sidney Franklin, (born Sidney Frumkin, 1903-1976), was the first American to become a successful bullfighter. After learning the art of the matador in Mexico, he went on to fight bulls in the great arenas of Spain and Latin America.
Franklin appeared in a number of films in the USA and Mexico, and was highly praised for his ability as a bullfighter. However, at one point during the regime of Francisco Franco, he was banned from Spain for homosexual activity.
Franklin had an intimate relationship with poet Federico Garcia Lorca, who dedicated poems to him.
