Re: *CANDIDS*
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
DIANE BAKER is 76 today
TOM COURTENAY is 77 today
BRENDA JOYCE (1917 - 2009)
WARREN HYMER (1906 - 1948)
He was an actor, known for Meet John Doe (1941), Destry Rides Again (1939) and One Way Passage (1932).
Hymer was a brawny, barrel-chested character actor who had made a successful career out of playing not particularly bright cops, gangsters, sidekicks, etc., much like Nat Pendleton, until an incident in the late 1930s effectively killed his career. He was known to have a bad drinking problem, and one day he apparently showed up for work drunk at a picture he was making for Columbia. When this was reported to Columbia chief Harry Cohn, he ordered Hymer thrown off the lot. Enraged, Hymer burst into Cohn's office. Finding him gone, Hymer took out his frustrations by urinating on Cohn's desk. While many who hated Cohn--which was most everyone in Hollywood--applauded Hymer's action, the powerful studio chief had him blackballed in the business, and consequently he found work in only two films for the next year. His career picked up somewhat in the next few years, but usually in smaller parts than he had before and some in which his character didn't even have a name. He died in 1948 at age 42 of a stomach ailment. Sad.

Re: *CANDIDS*
Gee, Joe, I had no idea that the situation you described involving Warren Hymer had occurred. I always thought he--and his unlikely pairing with Aline MacMahon--were a key reason why I liked One Way Passage (1932) so much. Sounds as though he was one more "lost child of Prohibition" who got into the booze habit in his youth in the '20s and never knew there was any other way to live. What a shame.
