 Jeff Chandler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
Tough, virile lead with prematurely steel grey, wavy hair and a muscular physique who starred in action films of the late 1940s and 50s, often as American Indians (three times as Cochise), gangsters and cavalrymen.
Not a docile star, Chandler rebelled against Universal's mediocre action projects and was suspended several times.
Chandler's career was relatively brief, but prolific -- 47 films in 15 years; it was cut short by his premature death -- due to blood poisoning after routine spinal surgery for a slipped disc -- at age 42.

After being discharged from the military, he was a busy radio actor both in drama (such as episodes of Escape) and comedy (playing bashful biology teacher Phillip Boynton on Our Miss Brooks).
During the latter part of the decade, Chandler turned into a top leading man. His sex appeal, curiously heightened by his prematurely gray hair and tanned features, would put him into drama and costume movies.

I had a very close friendship with Jeff's youngest daughter Dana Chandler Grossel and years back we had planned to collaborate on a work about her father, something that wouldn't sensationalize, but rather humanize the Jeff Chandler people thought they knew, but really didn't.
Chandler's supporting actor nomination was well deserved but stop to consider he never came near that kind of work again.
As a Chandler fan I was disappointed, it would have been wonderful to have had a book about a hard working actor in the last vestiges of Hollywood glamour and style.
