Richard Arlen (September 1, 1899〔()#Notes〕 – March 28, 1976) was an American actor of film and television. ==Biography== Born Sylvanus Richard Van Mattimore in St. Paul, Minnesota, he attended the University of Pennsylvania. He served in Canada as a pilot in the Royal Flying Corps during World War I. His first job after the war was with St. Paul's Athletic Club. Then he went to the oilfields of Texas and Oklahoma and found work as a tool boy. He was thereafter a messenger and sporting editor of a newspaper before going to Los Angeles to star in films, but no producer wanted him. He was a delivery boy for a film laboratory when the motorcycle which he was riding landed him a broken leg outside the Paramount Pictures lot. A sympathetic film director gave him his start as an extra. He appeared at first in silent films before making the transition to talkies. His first important film role was in ''Vengeance of the Deep'' (1923). He took time out from his Hollywood career to teach as a United States Army Air Forces flight instructor in World War II. Arlen is best known for his role as a pilot in the Academy Award-winning ''Wings'' (1927) with Clara Bow, Charles 'Buddy' Rogers, Gary Cooper, El Brendel, and his first wife, Jobyna Ralston, whom he married in 1927. He was among the more famous residents of the celebrity enclave, Toluca Lake, California.〔(History of Toluca Lake ) from TolucaLakeChamber.com, retrieved on September 15, 2010.〕 In the 1950s and early 1960s, Arlen was active in television, having guest starred in several anthology series, including ''Playhouse 90'', ''The Loretta Young Show'', ''The 20th Century Fox Hour'', and in three episodes of the series about clergymen, ''Crossroads''.〔 Arlen appeared in westerns, such as ''Lawman'', ''Branded'', ''Bat Masterson'', ''Wanted: Dead or Alive'', ''Wagon Train'', and ''Yancy Derringer'', and in such drama/adventure programs like ''Ripcord'', ''Whirlybirds'', ''Perry Mason'', ''The New Breed'', ''COronado 9'', and ''Michael Shayne''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Richard Arlen )〕 For his contribution to the motion picture industry, Richard Arlen has a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame at 6753 Hollywood Blvd. On his death from emphysema in 1976, Arlen was interred at Holy Cross Cemetery in Culver City, California. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Arlen」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
