Paul Douglas Career

Career

Douglas began as an announcer for CBS radio station WCAU in Philadelphia, relocating to a network headquarters in New York in 1934. From 1936 to 1939, Douglas co-hosted CBS' The Saturday Night Swing Club, the CBS' most popular swing music program. He appeared on the CBS network broadcast of the 1937 World Series between the New York Giants and the New York Yankees, as well as France Laux and Bill Dyer. He also appeared on swing band leader Glenn Miller's 1940-42 CBS radio show for Chesterfield Cigarettes as host and commercial pitchman.

In Doty Hobart and Tom McKnight's Double Dummy at the John Golden Theatre in 1936, he made his Broadway debut as the Radio Announcer. He received both a Theatre World Award and a Clarence Derwent Award for his portrayal of Harry Brock in Garson Kanin's Born Yesterday.

Douglas appeared in films in 1949. He may be best known for two baseball comedy films, It Happens Every Spring (1949) and Angels in the Outfield (1951). In A Letter to Three Wives (1949), Sgt. Richard Widmark's police companion in the 1950 thriller Panic on the Streets, he also played the dissatisfied newcomer Porter Hollingsway. In When in Rome (1952), businessman Calvin B. Marshall in The Maggie (1954), and businessman Josiah Walter Dudley in Executive Suite (1954). In March 1950, Douglas was host of the 22nd annual Academy Awards. He appeared on radio as the announcer for The Ed Wynn Show and the first host of NBC Radio's The Horn & Hardart Children's Hour. Douglas appeared on The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show in April 1959 as Lucy Ricardo's television morning show co-host in the episode "Lucy Wants a Career."

He appeared in "The Caine Mutiny" in 1955, but his employer put him on probation for allegedly saying, "The South stinks." It's a land of sowbelly and segregation, which offended Southern audiences. Douglas said he was wrongly quoted.

Douglas appeared in Clash by Night with Barbara Stanwyck in 1952.

Douglas was first cast in the 1960 episode of The Twilight Zone as "The Mighty Casey," a role written for him by Rod Serling based on his character in Angels in the Outfield. Douglas died the day after the episode's completion was completed. During filming, he had been in his last stages of illness, and his fragile physical condition was apparent on film. (The crew incorrectly thought that his disorder was caused by heavy drinking.) The episode, which was a sitcom, had been rated as unairable. Douglas' scenes were re-shot with Jack Warden, who was revived some months later.
