MINI BIO:
Shaven-headed actor of Swiss-Mongolian parentage (born on an island off the coast of Siberia). A former trapeze artist who turned to acting after being injured in a fall, his subsequent career was inextricably tied up with his portrayals of the King of Siam in The King and I, and the mysterious gunfighter in black in The Magnificent Seven. His faint accent and clipped tones remained unique, but a further stage stint with The King and I in the late seventies signalled his departure from the screen. Married to Virginia Gilmore from 1944-1960. Oscar for The King and I. Died from lung cancer. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:
