Marc Lawrence (born Max Goldsmith ; February 17, 1910 – November 28, 2005) was an American character actor who specialized in underworld types. He has also been credited as F. A. Foss , Marc Laurence and Marc C. Lawrence .[1]
Early life [ edit ]
Lawrence was born in New York City, the son of a Polish Jewish mother, Minerva Norma (née Sugarman), and a Russian Jewish father, Israel Simon Goldsmith.[2] [3] City College of New York . In 1930, he received a two-year scholarship to the repertory theater operated by Eva Le Gallienne .[4]
Lawrence's film debut came in 1933.[4]
Lawrence's pock-marked complexion, brooding appearance and New York street-guy accent made him a natural for heavies, and he played scores of gangsters and mob bosses over the next six decades. He had become so familiar in the niche that Lawrence was once informed by studio executive Harry Cohn that infamous mobster Johnny Roselli called Lawrence "the best hood in films." Lawrence himself concurred that many Italian hoods told him he played them better than anyone else.[citation needed
Later, Lawrence found himself under scrutiny for his political leanings. When called before the House Un-American Activities Committee , he admitted he had once been a member of the Communist Party . He named Sterling Hayden , Lionel Stander , Anne Revere , Larry Parks , Karen Morley and Jeff Corey as Communists.[5] [citation needed
Following the demise of the blacklist, he returned to America and resumed his position as a familiar and talented purveyor of gangland types. He played gangsters in two James Bond movies: 1971's Diamonds Are Forever Sean Connery , and 1974's The Man with the Golden Gun Roger Moore . He also portrayed a henchman opposite Laurence Olivier in Marathon Man Miami mob boss alongside Jerry Reed and Dom DeLuise in the comedy Hot Stuff
Lawrence played Volnoth, a member of the Gatherers, in the 1989 Star Trek: The Next Generation The Vengeance Factor ". He subsequently returned to the Star Trek Star Trek: Deep Space Nine Badda-Bing Badda-Bang ", which aired in February 1999.
He played the elderly motel owner in From Dusk Till Dawn Looney Tunes Back in Action Acme Corporation vice president.
Lawrence directed Nightmare in the Sun Pigs [4] [6]
In 1991 Lawrence's autobiography was published entitled Long Time No See: Confessions of a Hollywood Gangster (ISBN 0-9636700-0-X ). Lawrence was also the subject of a novel, The Beautiful and the Profane (ISBN 978-1-4107-0292-0 ) (published in 2002).
Personal life [ edit ]
In 1942, he married Fanya Foss, a Ukrainian-American screenwriter and had 2 children.[7] Billy Bob Thornton from 1986 to 1988. In 2003, at the age of 93, Lawrence remarried Alicia, a Mexican woman. He lived in Palm Springs, California .[8]
After having been hospitalized for over a week after an illness, Lawrence died on November 28, 2005 at his home at the age of 95.[9]
