Joel McCREA

* 05.11.1905, South Pasadena, California, USA † 20.10.1990, Woodland Hills / Los Angeles, USA

Schauspieler * Besuch des Pomona State College - dort sammelt erste Schauspielerfahrungen * beginnt seine Arbeit beim Film als Komparse und Stuntman * 1929 Filmdebüt * erhält einen Vertrag bei RKO * 1930 steigt zum leading man auf * bis Mitte der 40er Jahre behauptet sich an Seite vieler weiblicher Stars (Constance Bennett, Barbara Stanwyck, Miriam Hopkins) in verschiedenen Genres und avanciert letztendlich zu einem der männlichen Topstars der Kriegsjahre * ab 1946 wirkt ausschließlich in Western mit ("I liked doing comedies, but as I got older I was better suited to do westerns. Because I think it becomes unattractive for an older fellow trying to look young, falling in love with attractive girls in those kinds of situations ... Anyway, I always felt so much more comfortable in the western. The minute I got a horse and a hat and a pair of boots on, I felt easier. I didn't feel like I was an actor anymore. I felt like I was the guy out there doing it.", 1978) * 1952 dreht in England ausnahmsweise einen Agententhriller und seinen einzigen nicht-amerikanischen Film (Rough Shoot) * 1959/60 verkörpert (Marshal) Mike Dunbar in der Fernsehserie Wichita Town * 1961 beendet - ähnlich wie sein Co-Star Randolph Scott - faktisch seine Kinokarriere mit Sam Peckinpahs Westernklassiker Ride the High Country * zieht sich auf seine Ranch im Conejo Valley (California) zurück und läßt sich noch zweimal vor die Kamera locken (als ältere Ausgabe seines Sohnes Jody McCrea in Cry Blood, Apache, 1970; Mustang Country, 1975) * verheiratet mit Frances Dee (seit 1933) | Bild: Radio [RKO, publicity shot]


"Today McCrea's name isn't completely synonymous with westerns not only because of his acclaimed work in a range of other genres but because he never played in a classic of the John Ford caliber. His films of the 1950s are generally considered of the "B" movie variety, yet they made money and many of them still hold up well today. He played such true-life legends of the Old West as Sam Houston, Buffalo Bill, Wyatt Earp, and Bat Masterson." Rob Nixon (TCM - Turner Classic Movies)
