Born Reginald Alfred Truscott-Jones in Wales on January 3, 1905, Ray Milland aspired to be an actor from an early age. Breaking into films during the early days of
'talkies,' Milland's sonorous voice and command of language made him a natural in sound films, and soon his ambitions turned stateside. After arriving in Hollywood,
he found small roles at Warner Bros. and MGM before signing with Paramount in 1933. The studio started Milland in some of its B pictures, such as Charlie Chan in
London (1934; with Warner Oland) and Many Happy Returns (1934; with George Burns and Gracie Allen). Quickly, Milland's fortunes rose with starring roles
in Bulldog Drummond Escapes (1937; with Heather Angel) and Beau Geste (1939; with Gary Cooper). Milland acted in a surprising number of comedies
throughout his career and made his mark on them in the 1940s with such big budget films as The Major and the Minor (1942; with Ginger Rogers) and It
Happens Every Spring (1949; with Jean Peters). Perhaps Milland's strongest performance came in the 1945 noir The Lost Weekend; he won an Academy Award
for best actor in the role of alcoholic writer Don Birnam. Later in the 1940s and 1950s, he also acted in a healthy dose of film noir, including The Big Clock
(1948; with Maureen O'Sullivan), The Thief (1952; with Martin Gabel), and he's an excellent villain in Alfred Hitchcock's Dial M For Murder (1954;
with Grace Kelly and Robert Cummings). His long association with Paramount ended in the early 1950s, after which he acted in films
for other studios.
