Something wrong?He was MGM's idea of the perfect leading man - dark-haired, square-jawed, and bankable for three decades. Born Spangler Arlington Brugh, he became Robert Taylor and carried some of the studio era's biggest romantic melodramas before switching to Westerns and a late-career turn hosting Death Valley Days.
