Wikipedia entry: Otto Kruger ( September 6 , 1885 – September 6 , 1974 ) was an American movie actor who began his career in 1915. His career was most prolific during the 1930s and 1940s.
The grand-nephew of South African pioneer and president Paul Kruger , Otto Kruger was musically trained, but switched careers and went into acting. Making his Broadway debut at the age of fifteen, Kruger quickly became a matinee idol . Though he started to get noticed in the early 1920s, it was the 1930s when his career was at its height, including an appearance in the 1934 film Chained , opposite Joan Crawford and Clark Gable . Though he would play the hero on occasion, for most of his career, he would play the main villain or a charming or corrupt businessman. One of his best known roles was in the 1954 film Magnificent Obsession .
Among his television appearances was a 1959 role as Dr. Mumford in the episode "Experiments in Terror" on the NBC science fiction / adventure series The Man and the Challenge . In 1961, he appeared as Franklyn Malleson Ghentin in "A Fool for a Client" on James Whitmore 's The Law and Mr. Jones on ABC . He retired in the 1960s.
Kruger died on his 89th birthday. He has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame .
