George Raft
ORIGINAL NAME George Ranft
BIRTH 26 Sep 1895
Hell's Kitchen, New York County (Manhattan), New York, USA
DEATH 24 Nov 1980 (aged 85)
Los Angeles, Los Angeles County, California, USA
Actor. He had an acting career that spanned from the 1920s to 1980, and gained a reputation as one of Hollywood's best dressed actors. Before acting, he started off as a prizefighting boxer, then moved on to dancing both on Broadway Theatre and in Prohibition-era nightclubs. In motion picture he immediately gained roles portraying gangster. On top of being type cast as a Hollywood gangster, he made bad decisions choosing his next roles. He turned down "High Sierra" reportedly because he didn't want to die on-screen, and turned down the role of 'Sam Spade' in "The Maltese Falcon" because it seemed to him a lowly B-grade picture. He achieved some success appearing in "Some Like It Hot" (1959) and continued to act until his death in 1980.
