MINI BIO:
Perennially young, ever-smiling, black-haired American leading man, most at home in light comedy-romance where his skill at throwaway humor was best displayed. But he could be effectively used in drama, as proved by Sam Wood in Kings Row and Hitchcock in Saboteur. One of the earliest Hollywood entrants into TV, where he had his own show from 1955 to 1961. Made film debut as crowd player under the name Blade Stanhope Conway. Later billed (after 1962) as Bob Cummings. Suffered from Parkinson's Disease in later years. Died from kidney failure.
