MINI BIO:
Bland, inoffensive, elegant, brown-haired British leading man, a staple ingredient of MGM films from 1942 to 1952 as light romantic interest. The thick eyebrows which always made him look a little quizzical became beetling in middle-age, when he became a member of the notorious Sinatra clan and a character actor as benign and lightweight as he had been as a star. An actor since childhood, Lawford died from kidney and liver complications. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:
