- Raúl Miguel Hidalgo Madero González was a brother of Mexico's 37th president, Francisco Madero, whose assassination in a coup d'etat by General Victoriano Huerta led to decades of violent political instability in Mexico. In the aftermath of his brother's assassination Madero allied himself with Venustiano Carranza's constitutionalist forces alongside Francisco "Pancho" Villa and was appointed as governor of Coahuila and Nuevo León during early 1915. He later temporarily left Mexico for New York City, but returned in 1919 to become a farmer, irrigation engineer, Director of Mining Development for General Manuel Ávila Camacho's presidential administration, and Governor of Coahuila from 1957-1963. During his retirement he was hired for a small role as an elderly man at the temperance meeting that opens Sam Peckinpah's The Wild Bunch (1969). Raúl Madero died in Mexico City of respiratory failure at the age of 94 in 1982.
