Stuart Whitman mini-bio: American leading man in generally rugged roles. The son of a realtor, he graduated
from high school in Los Angeles and spent three post-war years with the Army Corps
of Engineers. In the army he won 32 fights as a light-heavyweight boxer. Upon his
discharge from service, he attended Los Angeles City College, where his interest in
acting emerged. He studied at the Los Angeles Academy of Dramatic Art and with
Michael Chekhov and Ben Bard. He toured the U.S. in a stage company of "Here Comes
Mr. Jordan" and began to get small roles in television and film. Eventually his
athleticism, his handsome features, and his talent for portraying either tough or
vulnerable characters led him to a level of stardom. He earned an Academy Award
nomination for his leading role of a child molester in The Mark (1961), and starred
in the television series "Cimarron Strip" (1967). A shrewd investor, he amassed a
substantial fortune while continuing his career even after its peak in the
mid-Sixties.
