Actor Born: September 16, 1927 in Astoria, NY Death: November 7, 1992 in Huntington Beach, CA Biography:The son of actress Nan Kelly Yorke, "Jack Kelly" was the younger brother of stage and film star "Nancy Kelly". Like Nancy, Jack was a professional from an early age, acting in radio and on stage before the age of 10, and in films from 1937 (he is quite prominent in a brace of 1939 20th Century-Fox films, "Young Mr. Lincoln" and "The Story of Alexander Graham Bell"). He reemerged as a leading man in the early 1950s, appearing in such films as "Forbidden Planet" (1956, as the ill-fated Lieutenant Farnam). Signed by Warner Bros. in 1955, Kelly starred as Dr. Paris Mitchell in the weekly TV version of the 1942 film "King's Row". He went on to play gamblin' man Bart Maverick on the longer-running Warners western series "Maverick".
