Actor Born: June 13, 1890 in Saginaw, MI Death: July 27, 1964 in Los Angeles, CA Biography:A stagestruck 15-year-old Michigan farm boy, "Harry Shannon" succumbed to the lure of greasepaint upon joining a traveling repertory troupe. Developing into a first-rate musical comedy performer, "Shannon" went on to work in virtually all branches of live entertainment, including tent shows, vaudeville, and Broadway. By the 1930s, "Shannon" was a member of "Joseph Schildkraut"'s Hollywood Theater Guild, which led to film assignments. Though he was busiest playing Irish cops and Western sheriffs, "Harry Shannon" is best remembered as Charles Foster Kane's alcoholic father ("What that kid needs is a good thrashin'!") in "Orson Welles"' masterpiece "Citizen Kane" (1941). ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
