Updated 3/31/2008 with more films available on DVD.
biography
Born Carmen Orrico in Brooklyn on August 5, 1935, John Saxon developed a taste for the theatre quite young, and he took dramatics classes while in high school. He also modeled briefly during this time. In 1953, Saxon was offered a Universal-International Studios contract, so he left New York for Hollywood. Universal groomed Saxon for stardom by putting him through the rigors of the studio system, taking acting classes for nearly two years. His first acting assignment came in the form of a bit part in the Judy Holliday comedy It Should Happen to You (1954), and he also had a small role in A Star is Born (1954; with Judy Garland). His breakthrough role was in the teen crime drama Running Wild (1955; with Mamie Van Doren).
Beefcake shots of John Saxon from the early 1970s
By 1956, Universal had begun to give John Saxon a big build-up, and his dark good looks made him a teen idol. Universal cast Saxon in a number of youth-oriented dramas in the late 1950s, including The Restless Years (1958; with Sandra Dee and Virginia Grey), Summer Love (1958; with Troy Donahue), The Reluctant Debutante (1958; with Rex Harrison and Sandra Dee), and Portrait in Black (1960; with Lana Turner and Sandra Dee). In the late 1950s, Saxon was often cast opposite Universal contract players Sandra Dee and Luana Patten. His contract with Universal ended with the release of Posse From Hell in 1961. Saxon was one of Universal's last contract players brought up through the old studio system. (Sandra Dee was Universal's last contract player; her contract lapsed in 1968 after the release of Rosie!.) Saxon freelanced in a few American films in the early 1960s, and then he went to Europe to star in a few films, including The Girl Who Knew Too Much (1963) and The Cavern (1964). Saxon then returned to America and signed again with Universal, this time to do a series of TV films.
