Richard Cromwell

Richard Cromwell is one of those Golden Age actors whose name has quietly faded, and I find that genuinely unfair. Sharing the screen with Bette Davis and Henry Fonda in Jezebel, and again with Fonda in Young Mr. Lincoln, tells me he was trusted by the era's heavyweights. He died at just fifty, which only deepens the sense of a career left unfinished. To me, his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame is less a trophy than a small, stubborn marker that says he was truly there. I like remembering the supporting players time tends to forget.
