Dean Stockwell, the gifted onetime child actor who became a solid and colorful adult performer, has died at the age of 85. TMZ reported that the "Quantum Leap" television star died "early Sunday morning at home, peacefully and of natural causes." He was one of three men to win the Best Actor award at the Cannes Film Festival twice. The others: Marcello Mastroianni (1970, 1987) and Jack Lemmon (1979, 1982). Acting was a family business for Stockwell. His older brother (pictured below at the far left) was the actor Guy Stockwell (1933-2002). Their father Harry Stockwell (1901-1984) was an actor and singer who provided the voice of The Prince in Walt Disney's animated classic "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" (1937). Dean Stockwell's first major feature film appearance was in "The Valley of Decision," the 1945 drama starring Gregory Peck, Greer Garson and Donald Crisp (pictured below with the young actor). In the 1945 musical/romantic comedy "Anchors Aweigh," Stockwell played a Navy-mad kid befriended by two sailors (Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra) on a four-day leave in Los Angeles. They also became acquainted with the boy's aunt (Kathryn Grayson), a promising singer hoping for a big break. Directed by George Sidney ("Annie Get Your Gun," "Bye Bye Birdie"), the film became the highest-grossing picture of the year, earning almost $5 million. It also received five Academy Award nominations, including Best Picture and Best Actor (Kelly). Stockwell played the young son of Peck's character in "Gentleman's Agreement" (1947), based on the novel by Laura Z. Hobson. The drama starred Peck as writer Philip Schuyler Green, a Gentile who posed as a Jew for a top-secret piece in a New York-based magazine. His undercover work gradually had repercussions for his personal life, particularly his budding relationship with a divorcée (Dorothy McGuire) and the self-esteem of his son. Directed by Elia Kazan, the film won Academy Awards for Best Picture, Best Director and Best Supporting Actress (Celeste Holm). Stockwell starred in the 1948 message film "The Boy With Green Hair," which was directed by the soon-to-be blacklisted filmmaker Joseph Losey. The young actor played a World War II orphan who became the talk of his adopted American small town. And it was all because he woke up one morning with a full head of green hair. The movie's haunting theme song, "Nature Boy," became a signature tune for Nat King Cole. Based on the 1920s' Leopold-Loeb case in Chicago, the 1959 drama "Compulsion" starred Bradford Dillman and Stockwell as wealthy law students on trial for the murder of a schoolboy. Orson Welles played their defense attorney, modeled after Clarence Darrow. The three stars shared the Best Actor award at the 1959 Cannes Film Festival. Directed by Richard Fleischer, the film was adapted from the 1956 novel by Meyer Levin and the 1957 play derived from it. Also starring in the picture: Diane Varsi, E.G. Marshall, Martin Milner and Richard Anderson. The 1960 drama "Sons and Lovers" starred Stockwell as the son of an English coal miner (Trevor Howard) and a domineering mother (Dame Wendy Hiller). For a time, the youth found a fulfilling relationship with a married woman (Mary Ure, pictured below with Stockwell). But it wasn't destined to last. Based on the 1913 novel by D.H. Lawrence, the movie was directed by the cinematographer-turned-filmmaker Jack Cardiff. It was nominated for seven Academy Awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor (Howard), Best Supporting Actress (Ure), Best Adapted Screenplay (T. E. B. Clarke and Gavin Lambert), Best Black-and-White Cinematography (Freddie Francis) and Best Black-and-White Art Direction-Set Decoration (Thomas N. Morahan and Lionel Couch). Francis won the first of his two Oscars for cinematography (the second was for "Glory" almost 30 years later). In "A Quality of Mercy," an unforgettable Season 3 episode of the "The Twilight Zone," Stockwell played a U.S. Army lieutenant prepared to attack Japanese soldiers holed up in a cave in the Philippines on August 6, 1945. Suddenly, he discovered that he had been transformed into a Japanese officer at Corregidor in 1942 on the verge of annihilating wounded American soldiers in a cave. The story, which was written by series creator Rod Serling (and based on an idea by "Have Gun – Will Travel" co-creator Sam Rolfe), originally was aired by CBS on December 29, 1961. Directed by Buzz Kulik, the episode also starred a pre-"Star Trek" Leonard Nimoy, Albert Salmi, Rayford Barnes, Dale Ishimoto and Jerry Fujikawa. Sidney Lumet directed Stockwell, Katharine Hepburn, Sir Ralph Richardson and Jason Robards in "A Long Day's Journey into Night" -- a 1962 screen version of Eugene O'Neill's 1957 Pulitzer Prize-winning play. The drama -- about the dysfunctional Tyrone family during a Connecticut summer in 1912-- earned Hepburn the ninth of her 12 Academy Award nominations for Best Actress. She also won Best Actress honors at the 1962 Cannes Film Festival. Stockwell, Richardson and Robards shared the Best Actor award at the annual event in France. Sir Patrick Stewart and Stockwell were among the many stars of David Lynch's 1984 screen version of the Frank Herbert sci-fi novel "Dune." Stockwell played the duplicitous (and ill-fated) Doctor Wellington Yueh, the physician for House Atreides. A big fan of Herbert's books, Stockwell lobbied Lynch in Mexico for the role -- only to be told it had been cast. Lynch later called Stockwell when the part became available. In German director Wim Wenders' "Paris, Texas" (1984), Harry Dean Stanton played a man who emerged from the Texas desert after years of wandering. He and his brother (Stockwell) headed for Los Angeles to search for the young son he hadn't seen in years. There, Stanton's character experienced a bittersweet reunion with his ex-wife (Nastassja Kinski), who also hadn't seen the boy in a while -- although she continued to provide for him financially. The drama -- which provided a rare leading role for Stanton, who died in 2017 -- won the Palme d'Or (or Golden Palm) at the 1984 Cannes Film Festival. The tale of family reunion and redemption was based on the play by the actor-playwright Sam Shepard, who was credited with writing the movie's screenplay. L.M. "Kit" Carson, whose son Hunter played the son of Stanton and Kinski's characters, received an adaptation credit. In Lynch's controversial 1986 thriller "Blue Velvet," Stockwell made a brief appearance as Ben -- a pimp and drug dealer in league with the sadistic and psychopathic Frank Booth (Dennis Hopper). At one point, Ben memorably lip-synched to a recording of Roy Orbison's "In Dreams." Stockwell once said he was doing a parody of Carol Burnett in the scene. Stockwell received his only Academy Award nomination -- a 1988 Best Supporting Actor nod -- for his performance in Jonathan Demme's comedy "Married to the Mob. He played crime boss Anthony "Tony the Tiger" Russo, who made the mistake of pursuing the widow (Michelle Pfeiffer) of a man he whacked. The comedy also starred Matthew Modine (as an undercover FBI agent who falls for the widow), Mercedes Ruehl, Alec Baldwin, Joan Cusack, Oliver Platt and Nancy Travis. From 1989 to 1993, Scott Bakula and Stockwell starred in the NBC sci-fi series "Quantum Leap," the story of a government-financed time-travel experiment gone awry. Bakula played the brilliant scientist Dr. Samuel Beckett who uncontrollably leaped into people who existed during his lifetime -- and changed their lives dramatically. Stockwell received four consecutive Primetime Emmy nominations as the pop culture-savvy Rear Admiral Al Calavicci, who maintained contact with Beckett in the form of a hologram. Beckett frequently had an impact on history. In the Season 3 episode "The Boogieman," he leaped into a horror writer in Maine in 1964 -- and lnfluenced a young assistant named Stevie King. There has been talk of a revival of the series. During the 2014-2015 television season, Stockwell made an appearance on an episode of Bakula's latest series -- the CBS crime drama "NCIS: New Orleans." Stockwell was an accomplished artist and designer who created the cover for his friend Neil Young's 1977 album "Stars and Bars." Bilge Ebiri @BilgeEbiri R.I.P.

I was just talking with one of my friends about the crazy production numbers in Footlight Parade. Especially the By a Waterfall one. They’ve been locked up for days for rehearsals. But there’s no big swimming pool in the rehearsal hall. So how in the world did they pull that off? Did they just pretend to swim in the hall then said “we’re fine. We’ll just wing it on performance night.” Never mind that they’re busing from theater to theater between shows. It’s nuts. 😂

Breakfast At Tiffany's (1961) Kept man and woman:

Fine actor and as pointed out had a solid career in so many different phases over decades. E.g. He was in the 50s T.V. westerns as a young man - one was Wagon Train where he played the younger brother of Shelley Winters. Just one example of the over 100 roles for him. Russ Tamblyn had this to say: Dean. My oldest friend. A godfather-figure to my daughter, Amber. Brilliant artist. Loving dad. We met on the set of The Boy With Green Hair, stayed close til his last breath. Rest easy now, brother. Give Dennis a hug from me when you see him on the other side. (I assume Dennis is Dennis Hopper).

Costly error: Because someone at Universal forgot to put the word "copyright" or the copyright symbol in front of the year on the opening credits, CHARADE (1963) automatically entered the public domain.

While this one wondered why he never heard from Dad again after getting married...

Wow, it appears the last two examples from State of the Union and The Best Years of Our Lives were errors created by the studio and part of the studio's release of the film. And we have people at this forum that knock TCM hosts for making such minor mistakes. These were done by the studio who owned the rights to that film. Oh, the shame, the horror! (but I do find this interesting and fun, so keep providing more).

From 1950

I found that rationale that the unrelated musical numbers in the "revised" show had something to do with Fred Astaire writing books to be, well, just plain wrong. Fred Astaire writing books (and I barely remember that reference) has nothing to do with anything. It is clearly stated that the revised show is going to be "the show that the Martons originally wrote. " Nothing to do with Fred's alleged "writing." (And I think the reference is to him writing is that he is bored and working on his autobiography which would be an inside joke -- actors who no longer can get jobs are always supposedly working on their autobiography!) We, the audience, are not supposed to "question" that the new show has no continuity from number to number. The Freed Unit wanted to do what they wanted to do. I actually have a great book on Vincente Minnelli and his Freed Unit years and I'm going to see if there is any "explanation" as to why all of these musical numbers had ABSOLUTELY NOTHING IN COMMON other than "we want to do them."

I've just now awoken from the 45 minute nap I took to process this information. Next thing I know, you guys'll be telling me PAUL LYNDE was a total poonhound. My world has been knocked off of its foundation.

With the ubiquitousness of cel phones/tweeting/texting, I've been stunned how people behave behind their "screen". Apparently the anonymity encourages people to say whatever idiotic thought comes into their mind, they'd NEVER say in front of real people. Of course 2020's isolation fueled it even further. Maybe not a movie performance, but his portrayal of 45 on Saturday Night Live was incredibly hilarious.

Five Steps to Danger was pretty bad. Not a film noir, IMHO, although certain sequences evoked Detour, Ace in the Hole and Out of the Past, . I hung with it because I like Ruth Roman, she is swell-looking and a good actress.

Oh boy! The "Show within a Show" not making much sense. I think the percentage of movies that handle these in such an unbelievable way is about 98.73%. I'm still waiting for Jimmy Cagney to pack up and ship out a waterfall and aquacade-style swimming pool each time there is a prologue to present at the local Bijou. In the end I just go along with whatever the creative team has thrown at us to pal around with the great tunes. Now "The Band Wagon," some such as Oneeyeopen might argue, could possibly have a non-review style book that was part of the original Marton vision. Triplets, Louisiana Hayride, and the others might all very well be depictions of books that the Fred Astaire character has written -- though I didn't see any reform school girls playing softball. (Drat). It's all a showcase for some terrific Dietz and Schwartz songs. Certainly no complaints from me. My beef with the musical numbers is the "Girl Hunt" ballet. I listened to the TCM intro to the movie, and I just don't buy that the ballet is a send-up of noir films of the era. Maybe that's because I don't particularly care for the entire number. I always think that's where the artist sketch of the egg that's laid comes from. "Dancing in the Dark" is my wife's favorite part of the movie, and she always comments how much she adores Cyd Charisse's outfit. I'll admit that Cyd's a stunner, and I see no reason why she would think she'd be embarrassedly underdressed going to a swanky club. Why, the minute she'd walk into the joint, every head would turn. Since I enjoy looking at the backgrounds in movies, did anyone notice how often theater marquees and playbills mentioned "The Proud Land" and "A Woman of Taste?" Hint, if you didn't notice, take another look at "The Bad and the Beautiful" sometime soon. In short, "The Band Wagon" has been added to my list of It's Grown on Me movies, and it pleases me to say that.

BRONXGIRL48: If you'd like to, uh, expand your cinematic horizons check out Ruth Roman in IMPULSE (1974) and DAY OF THE ANIMALS (1977). Then check out Sterling H. in GAS (1981), the Canadian comedy that's supposed to take place in an "average American town". (But it was filmed entirely in Maple Leaf Land). → Trust Me. These 3 movies are highly-regarded masterworks from classically-trained filmmakers. 😈

Well the answer to those songs being in the play was it was that Jeffrey said it was a "Faust" story, it was not the story that Oscar and his wife wrote. So when they let Fred take over, the went back to the original storyline the Lester and Lilly wrote. Remember, he was a writer of books and wrote murder mysteries on the side. So, I could see the Hayride and the Triplets as the fun stories he wrote as the book writer.

Ha! This disconnected bunch of musical numbers -- Triplets, Louisiana Hayride, Girl Hunt Ballet, etc. has always confounded me, too. I guess because The Bandwagon is such a fabulous musical the producers figured they could get away with throwing in a few Don't-really-relate-to-one-another-at-all musical numbers for the "replacement show" for the original Faust musical. Having said that, Dancing in the Dark is one of my absolute favorite dance sequences ever.

Dean Stockwell had some very colourful anecdotes about his experience as a young child actor when working with Errol Flynn on KIM (1950). A warning in advance that some of the language used is a little raw. http://www.sheilaomalley.com/?p=6909

I will always remember him as THE BOY WITH GREEN HAIR (1948)

Wednesday, November 10/11 1:45 a.m. Malaya (1949). With Spencer Tracy, James Stewart, Sydney Greenstreet and Valentina Cortese. I still haven’t seen this one.

Just watched TCM Spotlight: Dance Numbers last night. Producer-director-choreographer Adam Shankman joined TCM host Dave Karger for a month-long celebration of great dance numbers. They made comments before and after one of my favorite films "The Band Wagon" (1953) starring Fred Astaire and Cyd Charisse. I thought it was really interesting to listen to the observations regarding the dancing made by the choreographer Adam Shankman. One of the most magical dance duets in this film is "Dancing in the Dark" with Astaire and Charisse. Shankman pointed out how the dancers actually stop or pause during the duet and it's very effective at conveying the romantic feelings of the characters. It's also unique that they dance in Central Park (as opposed to a more formal situation). Dancing in the Dark has a dreamlike quality for me. The dancers show tentative steps toward embracing one another. Shankman also commented on the amazing film noir dance in the film. Somehow, the dancers have translated what film noir is to a dance. I love the stunning costumes in this number. Cyd Charisse is amazing in the bar scene dress. I really look forward to more dance discussions on this TCM Spotlight. There's quite a diversity of great movies on their list. I'd love to know your favorites. * Just a side note. I never could make sense out of the new show that is created in The Bandwagon (replacing the terrible musical based on Faust). How do the songs "Louisiana Hayride", "Triplets" and the Film Noir number relate to each other? What is going on in the Film Noir dance number story? It's a confusing story for me.

Yes!!! Jack Buchanan as the over-the-top director is fantastic! I love when he orders people to take down a lot of things he says because he thinks he's so clever. I laugh every time I see this film. His comedic part reminds me of the great comedic performance of Jean Hagen as Lina Lamont in "Singin' in the Rain". Her voice is so bad. I love it. Jack Buchanan as the over-the-top director Jeffrey Cordova and Jean Hagen as Lina Lamont in Singin' in the Rain.

I'd say that's the Pan Am "Orion" carry-on flight bag.

And, Fredric March's name is misspelled as "Frederic" in the closing credits of The Best Years of Our Lives. (...in fact, I've often seen it misspelled in this way on these very boards when his name is mentioned)

I highly recommend Malaya; Tracy and Stewart are in fine form playing characters that are interesting and someone unique for both of them. Greenstreet was loaned out from Warners to do this MGM film and helps add to the overall vibe of corruption. While the plot revolves around rubber it is more hardball; this film doesn't have many soft edges.

Yes, I've wondered about this before. Based on these glimpses, the new show is definitely all over the place! I'd love to see the dialogue scenes connecting these numbers.

That clue made it a bit easier. The song is "I've got my eyes on you". It was written by Cole Porter and performed by Fred Astaire in "Broadway Melody Of 1940". Here is Fred: The next year it was sung by Kathryn Grayson in "Andy Hardy's Private Secretary".

You're right about THE BABY'S length -- if I recall correctly it's not even an hour and a half. But hard to forget.

They sound delicious, Mr. G.! Have you seen THE BABY? That's the Ruth Roman I know and love!

Long before I knew who DEAN STOCKWELL was, my mother talked about "the boy with the green hair..." I admire lots of his films, but I have a soft spot for KIM. Good night DEAN!

I ordinarily enjoy Sterling Hayden and Ruth Roman. Two fine, down-to-earth, underrated actors. But I wasn't fond of 5 STEPS TO DANGER. The opening road trip scenes were intriguing but after Roman revealed her European background and the secrets it entailed, I immediately lost interest, mainly because I just could not believe Ruth as a vulnerable German refugee grappling with "the Commies". She's too blowsy and earthy -- in a good way, of course. Miscast here, in my opinion. (and as a socialite in STRANGERS ON A TRAIN. Roman's persona to me is strictly working-class) Sterling was okay, but the role didn't really offer him any challenges.

I started with the Japanese films from about a week ago. I never realized that there was a "Japanese new Wave", but then watching "The Warped Ones" cured me of that lack of knowledge. Up until now, my main exposure to Japanese films was Akira Kurosawa and (sheepishly) Godzilla (Gojira). But in the Warped Ones, I could see the influence of growing up and living under US occupation following the war and a rejection of those values. There seemed to be a passing resemblance to the British post-war films, especially the "kitchen sink dramas" of the early 60's ("The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner", "Saturday Night and Sunday Morning") , disaffected youth throwing off the WWI and post-war mentality of England.

Aww he's such a favorite of mine. I watched "Married to the Mob" over and over, mainly for his hilarious Tony the Tiger. His parody of every mob boss in every movie was perfectly on point. It didn't hurt that he was always so very good looking, at every age.

Remick and Bancroft are good, but I choose Hepburn.

Bringing Up Baby

Even though I'm not a fan of zombie horror, Night of the Living Dead is one of my top horror movies of all time.

A film based on a long (but excellent) play about addiction, written in the 1940s, published in the 1950s and taking place some 40 years earlier. The film garnered acting awards at Cannes for Hepburn, as well as Dean Stockwell, Jason Robards and Ralph Richardson. The other acting awards at Cannes that year went to the two young actors in A Taste of Honey, Murray Melvin and Rita Tushingham (her first film role).
