Roman Bohnen

Born: 24 November 1894, St. Paul, Minnesota, USA
Died: 24 February 1949, Hollywood, California, USA

Roman Bohnen was a noted stage actor. He was an original member of the Group Theatre and later joined The Actor's Laboratory Theatre in Hollywood. Sadly Roman died after suffering a heart attack at the age of 54 while performing in a play. He was blacklisted in 1949 during the McCarthey-era Communist scaremongering and this may have contributed to his heart attack.
