Robert Shayne (born Robert Shaen Dawe , October 4, 1900 – November 29, 1992) was an American actor whose career lasted for over 60 years.[1] [2] He was best known for portraying Inspector Bill Henderson in the American television series Adventures of Superman .[3]
Early years [ edit ]
Shayne was born in Yonkers, New York.[3] He was the son of Mr. and Mrs. Grosvenor Dawe, and he had a brother, Allen Shaen Dawe.[4] His father was one of the founders of the United States Chamber of Commerce .[5]
Shayne left Boston University in his senior year so that his brother could go to college.[5] For a time, he lived in Birmingham, Alabama, writing advertising copy for a women's clothing store by day and acting in a stock theater company at night. When the store went out of business, he began acting full-time.[6]
Shayne became an actor after having worked as a reporter at the Illustrated Daily Tab in Miami, Florida.[7] His initial acting experience came with repertory companies in Alabama,[8] including the Birmingham Players.[5]
Shayne's first Broadway appearance came by 1931 in The Rap .[8] His other Broadway shows include Yellow Jack (1934), The Cat and the Canary (1935), Whiteoaks (1938), with Ethel Barrymore , and Without Love (1942), with Katharine Hepburn .[2] [9]
Shayne in Smash-Up: The Story of a Woman (1947)
Shayne began his film career in 1934, appearing in two features. In 1942, he became a contract actor with Warner Bros. [10] He played many character roles in movies and television, including a film series of Warner Bros. featurettes called the "Santa Fe Trail" series such as Wagon Wheels West ,[11] and as a mad scientist in the 1953 horror film The Neanderthal Man .
From Indestructible Man (1956), L-R: Lon Chaney Jr. , Joe Flynn , and Robert Shayne
He appears briefly in Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest , seated at a booth in a hotel bar, where his character meets Cary Grant 's character, just as the latter is about to be kidnapped.[12] He also had a small but pivotal role in the 1953 sci-fi classic Invaders From Mars as a scientist.[13] Shayne enjoyed a brief rebirth in his career when he was cast as the blind newspaper vendor in The Flash television show.[14]
Television [ edit ]
Shayne portrayed Police Inspector William "Bill" Henderson on the 1950s TV series Adventures of Superman . He appeared sporadically in the early episodes of the series, in part because he was accused by his second wife Mary Sheffield,[15] and came under HUAC scrutiny and was briefly blacklisted on unproven and unspecific charges of association with Communism .[16] [17] As the program evolved, especially in the color episodes, he was brought into more and more of them, to the point where he was a regular on the series.[18] [19]
Personal life [ edit ]
Shayne married Mary Crouch in 1925.[20] They divorced in 1933 and had one daughter.[5]
In 1933, he married Mary Sheffield. They divorced in 1943[21] and had one daughter.[5]
In 1943, he married Elizabeth McDonald, with whom he had 2 more children. They remained married until his death in 1992.[citation needed ]
Shayne died in 1992 of lung cancer at the Motion Picture Hospital in Woodland Hills , California.[9] He was 92 years old. Shayne was buried in Forest Lawn Memorial Park, Hollywood Hills , California.[22]
