Jack Kelly
Jack Kelly began his career as a child actor, appearing in several films and stage productions while in his early teens. In 1950, he landed a contract with Universal-International, and the studio quickly cast him in a number of westerns. In 1957, he snagged his most famous role as Bart Maverick in the TV series Maverick, but after the series left the air in 1962, Kelly had been typecast and film roles became difficult to find. In the late 1960s, he became a game show host on the original Sale of the Century, which was cancelled in 1971. Eventually, acting took a back seat to politics, as Kelly was elected the mayor of Huntington Beach, California, in the 1980s. He died following a stroke in 1992 at the age of 65. His sister, Nancy Kelly, was also an actress, most famous for her role as the mother in The Bad Seed (1956).
