Richard Conte (1910-1975)

biography

Born in Jersey City, New Jersey, on March 24, 1910, character actor Richard Conte endured a hardscrabble youth yet harbored a desire for acting from a young age. After he matured into adulthood, he studied acting at the Neighborhood Playhouse in New York and quickly became a standout performer. Moving to Broadway in the late 1930s, Conte scored a number of successes on the legitimate stage, starring in such plays as Night Music and Walk Into My Parlor under his real name, Nicholas Conte. In 1942 he left New York for Hollywood upon signing a long-term contract with 20th Century Fox. His first film at Fox was Guadalcanal Diary (1943; with Lloyd Nolan and William Bendix), in which Conte had a substantial role. During World War II, Conte starred in many war dramas; the best of these is A Walk in the Sun (1945; with Dana Andrews and John Ireland). Following the war, Conte's dark and stern countenance made him a natural for film noir. Fox then cast him in such crime dramas as Somewhere in the Night (1946; with John Hodiak) and Call Northside 777 (1948; with James Stewart). After leaving Fox for Universal International in late 1949, Conte continued in such film noir releases as The Sleeping City (1950; with Coleen Gray) and The Raging Tide (1951; with Shelley Winters). In the early 1950s, Conte freelanced for awhile; his best low-budget crime drama during this period was Highway Dragnet (1954; with Joan Bennett). Conte signed again with a studio, this time Columbia, in the later 1950s.

later years

Richard Conte's career began to slow in the early 1960s, with the death of film noir. After a couple of forays into television and a few more films, Conte headed to Europe, where he acted in a string of films. In his later years, he snagged a great role in The Godfather (1972; with Marlon Brando), but headed back to Europe afterward to star in more movies. Following two heart attacks, Richard Conte passed away on April 15, 1975, at the age of 65. He was survived by his second wife, a son, and two stepsons.
