	Actors - Paco Stanley

Francisco "Paco" Stanley Albaitero (July 3 1942 - June 7, 1999) was a Mexican television entertainer and a politician member of the Institutional Revolutionary Party (PRI). He studied Law at the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM). After years of being a sidekick to comedians such as Madaleno, he was offered his own show ¡Ándale! who was well-received and reached high levels of rating as well as Llévatelo and Pácatelas with Mario Bezárez. Years later he was offered a show called Una tras otra on the rival network TV Azteca and he brought Bezárez with him.

He was assassinated in a brazen, noonday attack on Mexico City's busy beltway. The assailants unloaded a machine gun at his moving car, killing him and wounding at least five others. It was discovered that Stanley did not only use drugs but he seemed to provide connections between show-business tycoons and drug-dealers. This while he was member of the anti-drug campaign of TV Azteca. One of the models of his show as well as Mario Bezárez were accused of the murder and they were both imprisoned although Bezárez was acquitted. Witnessess declared that Mario was resentful of the jokes made about him on the show as well as Stanley's insinuation that Mario's son was actually Stanley's since the boy had blue eyes. After Mario's acquittal he was offered a less successful show on TV Azteca.
