Grady Sutton Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018

Grady Harwell Sutton (April 5, 1906 – September 17, 1995) was an American film and television actor from the 1920s to the 1970s.Born in Chattanooga, Tennessee, Sutton was raised in Florida where he attended St. Petersburg High School. He began his career during the silent film era and made the transition to sound films with the college themed serials The Boy Friends. He moved on to countless character roles, where he frequently played dimwitted country boys. His most well-known roles were as Frank Dowling, Katharine Hepburn's dancing partner, in Alice Adams (1935) and as a foil to W.C. Fields in two films, You Can't Cheat an Honest Man (1939) and The Bank Dick (1940).Film historian William J. Mann characterizes Sutton as a typical "Hollywood Sissy," that is as a gay actor who ordinarily portrayed an effeminate character for comedic effect.He continued to work throughout the 1950s and 1960s, finally retiring from acting in 1979. The strength of his association with Fields was such that it was mentioned in the commentary for My Fair Lady. Sutton has a non-speaking role in some of the formal-dress scenes, and subtly performs some comic shtick. The commentator refers to him as "an old W. C. Fields actor".Sutton died at the Motion Picture & Television Country House and Hospital in Woodland Hills, California at the age of 89.

#Quote
1When a fan approached the reclusive actor in 1988 (at age 80) and asked for an autograph, he is reported to have said, "Haven't you anything better to do with your life than this?"
#Fact
1Came to Hollywood during a summer vacation with his roommate, the younger brother of director William A. Seiter. Grady was invited onto the set of one of Seiter's films and by chance given a job as an extra. He stayed in town for over six decades.
2During World War II he was refused by the Army because of a bad stomach so he worked at Lockheed in order to support his country's war effort.
3Signed for a series of Hal Roach two-reelers called the "Boy Friends" which also co-starred Mickey Daniels from the original "Our Gang" shorts.
4Did a slew of commercials over the years for such products as Chevrolet, Ford and Mean Mary Jean.
5The never-married character actor was known for his rather unflattering blank-looking country bumpkin portrayals and, though unbilled in many of his movies, usually enjoyed a side-splitting one-liner or two.
6See him as the would-be bridegroom to Carole Lombard in La Cava's My Man Godfrey (1936).
