Biography

Who is Garfield John?

American stage and film actor who played brooding, rebellious, working-class tough guy characters. Garfield was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for Four Daughters in 1939 and Best Actor for Body and Soul in 1948. He grew up in poverty in New York City. In the early 1930s, he became a member of the Group Theater. In 1937, he moved to Hollywood, eventually becoming one of Warner Bros. stars. Called to testify before the U.S. Congressional House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC), he denied communist affiliation and refused to "name names", effectively ending his film career. Some have alleged that the stress of this persecution led to his premature death. Subject to heart problems from 1947, he died at the height of his career of a heart attack on 21 May 1952 in New York City. His funeral was the largest in New York since Rudolph Valentinos, with over ten thousand persons crowding the streets outside. He was given a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 7065 Hollywood Boulevard. Garfield is acknowledged as a predecessor of such Method actors as Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, and James Dean.
