Father of Richard Duryea, born July 14, 1942.

Father of actor Peter Duryea.

While working on the stage in New York City, Duryea made his film debut in an uncredited bit in El tango en Broadway (1934); about 33 minutes into the film, he asks Laurita to dance, and a few moments later, brings her back to her table and thanks her.
