1 | Jeanne Crain said that Pallette was an admirer of Adolf Hitler. |
2 | Guy Kibbee was originally listed for the part of Friar Tuck in The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938). |
3 | Died while undergoing treatment for throat cancer. |
4 | He gave up acting after being diagnosed with what he referred to as a throat problem. |
5 | He was good friends with matinée idol Wallace Reid and was a pallbearer at Reid's funeral in 1923. |
6 | Was once employed as a jockey. |
7 | During the filming of In the Meantime, Darling (1944), Pallette became involved in a violent altercation with director Otto Preminger when he refused to perform in a scene in which he was to sit down at a table and exchange lines with a black actor (Clarence Muse). |
8 | During the silent era, Palette was a handsome and athletic lead and second lead who was frequently cast in adventures or epics, including those directed by D.W. Griffith and Cecil B. DeMille. He had already gained a tremendous amount of weight by the late 1920s, and started to segue into character roles and comedy bits, and his gravelly, bullfrog voice proved a tremendous asset in helping him to land such parts with the advent of sound. |
9 | He was best remembered for his distinctive voice which was often described as "froggy." He actually started his acting career in the silent period with over 130 silent films to his credit. |
