Eddie Acuff (June 3, 1903 – December 17, 1956) was an American actor. His best-known recurring role is that of Mr. Beasley, the postman, in the Blondie movie series that starred Penny Singleton and Arthur Lake.[1]
ReplyDeleteBorn in Caruthersville, Missouri, Acuff's maternal uncle was a performer on 19th century showboats along the Mississippi River.[citation needed] Before beginning his Hollywood film career in 1934, he performed in Broadway theatre in the early-1930s. He died in Hollywood, California and is buried in Valhalla Memorial Park Cemetery.
I think these "forgotten actors" are just as valuable as the "imortal" actors. Without them movies cannot be made. They make movies credible.
ReplyDeleteThey deserve better and more attention.
