One of Hollywoods highest earning actors in 1947 / 1953 and 1954. In November 1962, he was found lying unconscious in a pool of blood with a bullet wound near his heart, following an unsuccessful suicide attempt. In late 1963, he filmed a supporting role in The Carpetbaggers, but would not live to see its release. On January 29th 1964, he was found dead in Palm Springs California of an acute overdose of "alcohol and three other drugs" at the age of just 50. His death was ruled accidental and was part of a sad family legacy.
