Richard Weedt Widmark was born December 26, 1914. His first film role in 1947 - the giggling, sadistic Tommy Udo in Kiss of Death - earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor and the inaugural Golden Globe for Most Promising Newcomer. The performance typecast him early: studios wanted more sneering noir heavies, and Widmark delivered them. But he pushed past the mold, moving into heroic leads across Westerns, dramas, and horror films, and eventually produced several pictures himself. He received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame for his contributions to motion pictures. Widmark died March 24, 2008.
