Robert Dudley (actor)
Robert Dudley (September 13, 1869 – September 15, 1955), born Robert Y. Dudley in Cincinnati, Ohio, was a dentist turned film character actor who, in his 35-year career, appeared in more than 115 films.
==Career==
Dudley was born in Cincinnati, Ohio and was educated at Lake Forest College in Evanston, Illinois and Chicago, where he majored in oral surgery.〔IMDB (Biography )〕 In 1917 he appeared in his first film, ''Seven Keys to Baldpate'', and then made three other silent films through 1921. After 1922 he worked consistently, appearing in three or four films a year, and making the transition to sound films in 1929 with ''The Bellamy Trial''. Dudley often played characters with a quick temper, including jurors, shopkeepers, ticket agents, court clerks and justices of the peace, as well as an occasional farmer, hobo, or laborer.〔(Wollstein, Hans J. Biography (AllMovie) )〕 His performances in these small parts were frequently uncredited.〔
In the 1940s, Dudley was part of Preston Sturges' unofficial "stock company" of character actors, appearing in six films written and directed by Sturges.〔Dudley appeared in ''The Lady Eve'', ''Sullivan's Travels'', ''The Palm Beach Story'', ''The Miracle of Morgan's Creek'', ''The Great Moment'' and ''The Sin of Harold Diddlebock''〕 His most distinctive and memorable role for Sturges was the "Wienie King" in 1942's ''The Palm Beach Story'', the funny little self-made rich man with a big hat who spontaneously bankrolls Claudette Colbert and Joel McCrea on their escapade.
The 5' 9" Dudley, who was the founder of the "Troupers Club of Hollywood", was married to Elaine Anderson, and they had two girls, Jewell and Patricia Lee.〔 He made his final film, ''As Young as You Feel'' in 1951, and died 15 September 1955 in San Clemente, California, two days after his 86th birthday.
