My Take
What I love about Eugene Pallette is the arc of his career. He started as a lean leading man and ended as one of cinema's great rotund character actors, growling his way through more than 240 films across the silent and sound eras. That kind of reinvention takes humility and craft. Leading men come and go, but the gravelly-voiced supporting player who anchors a scene is the connective tissue of a movie. A Kansas kid who clawed his way to a Walk of Fame star deserves more remembering than he gets, and I'm glad to give him a little.
