Character actor, George Chandler, was born on Jun 30, 1898 in Waukegan, IL. Chandler died at the age of 87 on Jun 10, 1985 in Panorama City, CA .
MINI BIO:
American cameo player. Subservient and sometimes sullen, Chandler looked dubious about most things in life, as he came on for fleeting appearances as busboys, clerks, reporters, elevator boys, and valets in more than 50 years' worth of films. He started in variety playing the violin over his head ("George Chandler, the musical nut") and came to Hollywood as a comedian, soon settling into scores of films as a supporting player. Most memorable as Ginger Rogers' disposable husband in Roxie Hart, Chandler was later popular in a gentler role, as Uncle Petrie in TV's Lassie series. Politically busy, this one-time president of the Screen Actors' Guild was also chairman of the Hollywood Overseas Committee during the Vietnam War. Died from complications following cancer surgery.
