Actor, Editor Born: March 19, 1907 in New York City, NY Death: April 23, 1985 in Woodland Hills, CA Biography:Harvard graduate "Kent Smith" formed a theater company in Massachusetts before making his Broadway debut in 1932's Men Must Fight. Three years later, "Smith" entered films with a second role in "The Garden Murder Case". "Smith"'s colorlessness as a leading man was used to excellent advantage in producer "Val Lewton"'s "Cat People" movies of the 1940s, wherein "Smith" played the handsome but clueless husband of feline-possessed "Simone Simon" (in "Cat People") and the unimaginative father of overimaginative moppet "Anne Carter" (in "Curse of the Cat People"). Married twice, "Smith"'s second wife was prominent Broadway actress "Edith Atwater". In films until the 1960s, "Kent Smith" was also briefly a regular on TV's "Peyton Place"; his credits should not be confused with those of film editor "Kent Smith". ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
