| biography:
| Film actor, born in Omaha, Nebraska, USA. After ten years as a stage performer, he went to Hollywood for his role in The Search (1948). Four times nominated for an Oscar, this brooding, intense actor usually played an outsider. Rumours of heavy drinking, drug use, and homosexuality surrounded him, and a car accident left him scarred, but the disfigurement seemed to give him added strength and pathos. |
