description: "He owned noir the way some actors own a single role — Mitchum made an entire mood his territory. That half-lidded stare and the voice like gravel at 3 a.m. turned him into the guy you'd cast if the script called for someone dangerous, tired, or both at once."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Robert Charles Durman Mitchum was born August 6, 1917, and broke through in 1945 with an Academy Award nomination for The Story of G.I. Joe. What followed was a thirty-year run through the center of American cinema: Out of the Past in 1947, The Night of the Hunter in 1955, Cape Fear in 1962, and a long string of westerns, thrillers, and character pieces that made him the American Film Institute's 23rd greatest male star. Roger Ebert called him the soul of film noir; critic David Thomson said no American actor since the war had made more first-class films in so many moods. In 1983 he played Captain "Pug" Henry across two epic World War II miniseries, The Winds of War and War and Remembrance, before his death on July 1, 1997.
