John Lupton (1928-1993)

biography

Born in Highland Park, Illinois, on August 23, 1928, actor John Lupton grew up in Shorewood, Wisconsin, and became interested in the theater while attending Shorewood High School. Upon his graduation in 1946, he headed to New York to attend the American Academy of Dramatic Arts, and he also joined a theater company that specialized in productions for children. Although he never landed a role in a Broadway show, in 1950 he was cast in a touring company production of As You Like It and was eventually signed to a contract by an MGM talent scout. As was typical of MGM, Lupton was brought along slowly as an actor, and for the first two years of his contract, he appeared in just three films. By 1953, he was landing supporting roles in such MGM features as Escape from Fort Bravo (1953; with William Holden and Eleanor Parker) and All the Brothers Were Valiant (1953; with Robert Taylor and Ann Blyth). Lupton left MGM in 1956 and, after a brief contract with 20th Century Fox, freelanced for the remainder of his career.

Lupton married first wife Ann in 1956 and had a daughter, Rollin, in 1957, but the marriage soured quickly, and the couple divorced in 1959. He married again in 1962, this time to wife Dian.

In 1956, Lupton was cast in the lead role in the ABC TV western Broken Arrow and stayed with the show until it was canceled in 1958. He continued acting in television throughout his career, cast as a guest star in such shows as Perry Mason, The Time Tunnel, and Daniel Boone. However, his film career suffered, and by the late 1950s he was appearing only sporadically in such low-budget film fare as The Rebel Set (1959; with Gregg Palmer and Don Sullivan), Three Came to Kill (1960; with Cameron Mitchell and Steve Brodie), and the campy horror flick Jesse James Meets Frankenstein's Daughter (1966; with Cal Bolder and Narda Onyx).

later years

In the late 1960s, John Lupton was cast as Tommy Horton on the popular NBC daytime drama Days of Our Lives, a role he stayed with from 1967 until 1979. In 1980, he moved to CBS for a role in The Young and the Restless, but this was short-lived. While appearing in soaps, Lupton continued making numerous guest appearances on TV and acted in the occasional film, such as Airport 1975 (1974; with Charlton Heston and Karen Black). He also acted in many made-for-TV films in the 1970s. In the 1980s, he took a steady job with a computer firm as good roles began to dry up. Sadly, Lupton passed away from a sudden heart attack at his home on November 3, 1993, at the age of 65. He was survived by his second wife, Dian (1935-2005); daughter Rollin; son Anthony; stepson Edward; three granddaughters; and a sister.
