Hayden's career continued well into the New Hollywood period, with roles including Irish-American policeman Captain McCluskey in Francis Ford Coppola's The Long Goodbye (1972), alcohol novelist Roger Wade in Robert Altman's The Long Goodbye (1973), and elderly pesant Leo Dalc in Bernardo Bertolucci's 1900 (1976).

Youth and education
Hayden was born in Upper Montclair, New Jersey, on March 26, 1916, to George and Frances Walter, who gave him Sterling Relyea Walter. He was adopted at age 9 by James Hayden and renamed Sterling Walter Hayden after his father died. He grew up in New England's coastal towns as an infant, and in New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Washington, D.C., and Maine. He attended Wassookeag School in Dexter, Maine.
Hayden dropped out of high school at the age of 16 and began working as a mate on a schooner. His first voyage was to Newport Beach, California, and he came from New London, Connecticut. He later became a fisherman on the Grand Banks of Newfoundland and spent as a fireman on 11 trips to Cuba aboard a steamer.
After earning his master's license, he skipped a trading schooner in the Caribbean, and in 1937, he served as mate on a world cruise of the schooner Yankee. He was granted his first command at age 22, sailing from Gloucester, Massachusetts, to Tahiti in 1938, after serving as a sailor and fireman on larger vessels and sailing around the world several times. Before the Adventurers' Club of New York's monthly meeting on March 21, 1940, Hayden recounted his nautical experiences.

Madeleine Carroll, whom he married, appeared in his first film, Virginia (1941), directed by Edward H. Griffith. In Bahama Passage (1941), He, Griffith, and Carroll were reunited.
In December 1941, it was reported that he had left Hollywood and said, "I'm no actor!" "I'm a sailor."
He left Hollywood to fight in World War II after two film roles. He was enlisted in the Army and was sent to Scotland for training, but he broke his ankle and was discharged.
He returned to the United States and tried to buy a half-interest in a schooner but was unable to raise the money. He joined the United States Marine Corps as a private, under the name John Hamilton, an alias he never used otherwise. When at Parris Island, he was accepted for Officer Candidate School (OCS).
He was sent as a second lieutenant and was sent to work as an undercover agent for William J. Donovan's Office of the Coordinator of Information "Wild Bill" Donovan's Office. He stayed at the Office of Strategic Services after it was renamed Strategic Services (OSS).
As OSS agent John Hamilton, his World War II service included sailing from Italy to Yugoslav partisans and parachuting into fascist Croatia. Hayden, who also served in the Naples-Foggia campaign and established air crew rescue teams in enemy-controlled territories, became a first lieutenant on September 13, 1944, and a captain on February 14, 1945.
"Lt. Hamilton demonstrated remarkable courage in undertaking dangerous sea voyages in enemy-infested waters and reconnaissance through enemy-controlled areas," a Bronze Arrowhead device for parachuting behind enemy lines, and a congratulations from Yugoslavia's Josip Broz Tito. On December 24, 1945, he took up active duty. Tito granted him the Order of Merit.

He was seen actively supporting the Communist-controlled motion picture painters union's attempt to include other film unions. He testified before the House Committee on Un-American Activities about his brief Communist Party membership and "named names" as the Red Scare grew in the United States.
"The FBI made it very clear to me that if I were a 'unfriendly witness,' I might well forget the custody of my children," he later said. I didn't want to go to prison because that was the other thing."
Hayden argued that joining the Party was "the stupidest and most ignorant thing I've ever done in my life." He departed the club but was compelled to return by Karen Morley.
Betty de Noon, his wife at the time, was also a member of the Royal Society of Women (m 1947).
Hayden expressed regret for his testimony before, saying, "I don't have the foggiest idea of the contempt I've had for myself since the day I did that stuff."
Since being starring in MGM's heist thriller, The Asphalt Jungle (1950), Hayden's career received a boost. It was just a minor strike, but Hayden was widely regarded critically and established as a leading figure.
In Journey into Light (1951), he doubted his faith in the first appearance and then praised Bette Davis in The Star (1952). It was not a huge success, but Flaming Feather (1952), a Western, did well.

He defied a court order and sailed to Tahiti with the four children, Christian, Dana, Gretchen, and Matthew.
