?Born in New York in 1939, I became a fashion stylist. But, when I was told I had the makings of a model, I changed careers. From that, I would soon be in the world of Hollywood and movies. I was unprepared to be so famous so fast. But I learned to be my own person and not let people push me around. My third husband, a fellow actor, didn?t like headstrong women . I was a huge star of the 1970s, even though I didn?t work while married to my third husband, for six years. The one film I?m most identified with I made early in my career. I dabbled in tv in the 1980s, and People magazine called me one of the 50 Most Beautiful People in the World in 1991.?

I was born before the turn of the 20th century, graduated from law school, became a journalist, and then turned to the stage.. I played supporting roles in Broadway musicals and light plays. I was in films from 1930, typically playing supporting comedy parts as a reticent, indecisive upper-class man. I was killed in an auto accident.

I started my stage career in Copenhagen. Director Mauritz Stiller cast me in a lead role. I moved to Hollywood in 1927. My accent became a hindrance when sound came to film. So, my career declined and I returned to Sweden, where I remained until my death. Who am I?

[Leanox]

Anyone taking a guess?

[Leanox]

Exotic looking actor; many romantic lead roles

[MilesArcher]

Are you Lars Hanson, one of the stars of "Flesh And The Devil"?

[Leanox]

No, but acted with Garbo.

[Leanox]

Any other guesses?

[Leanox]

This actor was even called "The male Garbo."

 

Guess?

[Leanox]

Yes.

Thank you.

I was born and grew up in Cincinnati, the son of a feed-store manager. I worked as a lifeguard in Miami, FL, where I made contacts with people in the film industry. I became a stuntman and later a character actor playing mostly heavies in movie and TV westerns. I was in two Oscar-winning films in the fifties....Who me?
