Robert Mitchum 1917 – 1997
Robert Charles Durman Mitchum (1917 – 1997) was an American actor known for antihero roles and film noir appearances. Mitchum is rated number 23 on the American Film Institute’s list of the greatest male stars of classic American cinema.
Mitchum rose to prominence with an Academy Award nomination for the Best Supporting Actor for The Story of G.I. Joe (1945). His best-known films include Out of the Past (1947), Angel Face (1953), River of No Return (1954), The Night of the Hunter (1955), Thunder Road (1958), Cape Fear (1962), El Dorado (1966), Ryan’s Daughter (1970), The Friends of Eddie Coyle (1973), and Farewell, My Lovely (1975). He is also known for his television role as U.S. Navy Captain Victor “Pug” Henry in the epic miniseries The Winds of War (1983) and sequel War and Remembrance (1988).
Film critic Roger Ebert called Mitchum his favorite movie star and the soul of film noir: “With his deep, laconic voice and his long face and those famous weary eyes, he was the kind of guy you’d picture in a saloon at closing time, waiting for someone to walk in through the door and break his heart.” David Thomson wrote: “Since the war, no American actor has made more first-class films, in so many different moods.”
