Biography
American actor who made over 70 films in 35 years. The son of a country doctor, he majored in music in college. He followed his music professor out to Pomona, CA and a performance in a college production led to a screen test and his career as an actor. He signed a long-term contract with MGM where he reigned as one of Hollywood's principal actors. He played with such great co-stars as Ava Gardner and Elizabeth Taylor, as well as Greta Garbo and Jean Harlow. He starred in the TV series "The Detectives" from 1959-1961.
