Robert Mitchum

Birthplace: Bridgeport, Connecticut

Film and television actor often cast as a tough guy, he started out as an extra in the early '40s and became a star in the years following World War II.

Some film credits include Out of the Past (1947), Night of the Hunter (1955), The Sundowners (1960), Farewell My Lovely (1975), Mr. North (1988), and Dead Man (1996).
