Actor Born: 1884 in Illinois Death: December 14, 1955 in Hollywood, CA Biography:Not to be confused with the popular radio commentator of the same name, American stage actor "Paul Harvey" made his first film in 1917. Harvey appeared in a variety of character roles, ranging from Sheiks ("Kid Millions" [34]) to Gangsters ("Alibi Ike" [35]) before settling into his particular niche as one of Hollywood's favorite blowhard executives. Looking for all the world like one of those old comic-strip bosses who literally blew their tops (toupee and all), Harvey was a pompous target ripe for puncturing by such irreverent comics as "Groucho Marx" (in "A Night in Casablanca" [46]) and such down-to-earth types as "Doris Day" ("April in Paris" [54]). "Paul Harvey"'s final film role was a typically imperious one in DeMille's "The Ten Commandments" (55); Harvey died of thrombosis shortly after finishing this assignment. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
