Michael Rennie
Michael Rennie was a British actor who made the transition to Hollywood with moderate success.
Rennie was born in Bradford, Yorkshire, England, and had several other jobs before gaining employment as a stand-in in a Hitchcock film of 1936. Acting then became his profession, but it was some years before he found success as a leading man in the cinema, his exceptional height and chiselled features standing him in good stead. In 1945, he played a major role in the original version of The Wicked Lady, starring Margaret Lockwood and James Mason. From that point on, he was a star, and shortly afterwards he moved to the USA, where he appeared in such classics as
- The Day the Earth Stood Still (1951)
- Les Misérables (1952)
- The Robe (1953)
