My Take
Victor Jory is the kind of performer I genuinely treasure. Born in Dawson City during the Yukon gold-rush era, he started as a romantic lead but found his true calling playing villains and sinister figures, from the carpetbagger in Gone with the Wind to Oberon in A Midsummer Night's Dream. An actor who can pivot so completely from charmer to menace has real range, and his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame was well earned. He also wrote and composed. To me, distinctive character villains like Jory are the unsung treasures of classic cinema.
