Hugh Beaumont (1909-1982)

biography

Born in Lawrence, Kansas, on February 16, 1909, actor Hugh Beaumont rose through the ranks before entering films in 1940. Beaumont's first ambition was to be a minister, but he left that goal behind, at least temporarily, and began doing stage and radio work. His first film appearance came in the MGM short Jack Pot (1940; with Tom Neal), which was a part of the studio's Crime Doesn't Pay series of shorts. In April 1941, he married Universal contract player Kathryn Adams, who retired from the screen to be a wife and mother. Beaumont's career was stagnating in a series of bit parts until the mid 1940s, when he took over the role of Michael Shayne from Lloyd Nolan in PRC's detective series of films. When the series was resurrected for television in 1960, Richard Denning played the fictional private detective.

Beaumont continued in a flourish of noir releases at PRC, but when the studio was absorbed by Eagle-Lion in 1948, Beaumont's film career sagged. But he kept working in the then-new medium of television, in educational and industrial films as an actor and narrator, and in theatrically released films such as The Mole People (1956; with John Agar) and in westerns including Night Passage (1957; with Audie Murphy. In 1957, Beaumont landed the role of Ward Cleaver in the CBS (later ABC) situation comedy Leave It to Beaver for which he's now best remembered.

later years

Beaumont earned a master's degree in theology from USC in 1946 and frequently served as a minister in southern California churches while continuing his acting career. After Leaver It to Beaver was canceled in the summer of 1963, Beaumont's acting career slowed. He made just one more film, the 1965 sci-fi flick The Human Duplicators with George Nader and Barbara Nichols. He kept working on television until the early 1970s, where he made a number of guest appearances on popular TV programs, including Mannix and Petticoat Junction, and he also returned to stage work. Retiring from acting in 1971, Beaumont and his wife moved to Grand Rapids, Minnesota, and started a tree farm. Soon afterward, he suffered a severe stroke at the age of 63 which left his face partially paralyzed, and he never fully recovered. After 33 years, his marriage to Kathryn Adams dissolved in 1974. He passed away from a heart attack while visiting his older son in Germany on May 14, 1982, at the age of 73. Hugh Beaumont was survived by two sons and a daughter.
