My Take
Robert Armstrong will forever be the man who delivered one of cinema's most famous closing lines in the 1933 King Kong. To me there is real charm in his backstory: a Michigan native who studied law at the University of Washington before choosing the screen over the courtroom. As the showman Carl Denham, he gave that landmark monster film its human anchor, the ambition and bravado that set the whole tragedy in motion. He died in 1973, but every time Kong climbs that tower, Armstrong's voice and presence are woven into the legend. I think he was a genuinely fine character actor.
