Armando Bo (May 3, 1914 in Buenos Aires – October 8, 1981) was an Argentine film actor, director, producer, screenwriter and score composer of the classic era. He is mostly known for his sexploitation films in the 1960s and 1970s starring his favorite actress and romantic partner, sex symbol Isabel Sarli. His works include the first nude scene in an Argentine film (El trueno entre las hojas).
Bo's son is the actor Víctor Bo and his grandson is the screenwriter Armando Bo.
Bo began acting for film in 1939 in Ambición and made some 50 film appearances as an actor, but by the late 1940s he had already taken up an interest in film production and began as a director, producer, actor, and screenwriter in the early 1950s. He was involved in almost 100 different films during his career. His son, Víctor Bo, is also a prominent actor in Argentina. His grandsons, Academy Award winners for Best Original Screenplay Nicolás Giacobone and Armando Bo Jr., credited as Armando Bo, are considered important writers in their country, and have recently broken into Hollywood, collaborating as screenwriters on two films of Alejandro G. Iñárritu.
He was married to Teresa Machinandiarena, and had three children: María Inés, María Jesús, and Víctor. The erroneous popular belief is that he was married to Isabel Sarli.
