| Film actor, born in Bristol, SW England, UK. He went to Hollywood in 1928, played opposite Marlene Dietrich and Mae West, and from the late 1930s developed in leading comedy roles, especially under the direction of Howard Hawks, such as Bringing Up Baby (1938) and His Girl Friday (1940). He also provided several memorable performances for Hitchcock in Suspicion (1941), Notorious (1946), To Catch a Thief (1955), and North by North-West (1959), but during the 1960s his appearances were fewer. |
