The Resume

    (April 30, 1901-December 23, 1998)
    Hollywood leading man
    Appeared in 'Dracula,' 'Kismet,' 'Journey's End,' 'Bill Of Divorcement,' 'The Mummy,' 'The Warrior's Husband,' and 'The Mystery Of Edwin Drood'
    Starred as Lord Goring in a Broadway revival of 'Lady Windemere's Fan'

Why he might be annoying:

    He was always the first choice to be leading man by some of Hollywood's top actresses... not because of his talent but he would not upstage them.
    He was accused of being wooden on screen in his early days.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He was a talented actor who only got the dashing romantic roles due to his good looks.
    He retired from acting in 1936 and became a successful writer.
    He founded an Artist's commune in Nevada to get away from the Falseness of Hollywood.
    In his later years (lived to be 97), he loved to be interviewed about his early horror films which have now become classics.
