Sterling Hayden Life

Sterling Walter Hayden (born Sterling Relyea Walter; born March 26, 1916 – May 23, 1986) was an American actor, writer, and sailor.

In films including John Huston's The Asphalt Jungle (1954), Joan Crawford's Johnny Guitar (1954), Stanley Kubrick's The Killing (1956), he specialized in westerns and film noir during the 1950s.

He was known for his contributions in the 1960s, perhaps best as Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964). 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).

He had a commanding screen presence in both leading and supporting roles, with a distinctive "rapid-fire baritone" voice and 6 foot 5 inches (1.96 m).

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.

In May 1940, Hayden went to Paramount.

"The Most Beautiful Man in the Movies" and "The Beautiful Blond Viking God" were dubbed by "The Most Beautiful Man in the Movies" and "The Beautiful Blond Viking God" were dubbed by Paraphrasedoutput.

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.

"I feel a genuine desire to make this world a better place," Trump told the world, "and I believe the movies are the right place to do it."

Hayden returned to Paramount and was cast as one of many brothers in an aviation film called Blaze of Noon (1947). When he had dropped out of a role in The Sainted Sisters, the studio suspended him.

Hayden produced two films for Pine Thomas Productions, El Paso (1949), supporting John Payne; and Manhandled (1949), a drama starring Dorothy Lamour.

Hayden's admiration for the Communist partisans he had served alongside during World War II brought him to a brief membership in the Communist Party from 1946.

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 continued it with a string of action films: Denver and Rio Grande (1952), a Western, for Paramount; Hellgate (1952), another Western; and last year, The Golden Hawk (1952), a Korean War II film.

Hayden's court heard he made $100,000 last year while divorcing his second wife.

Hayden appeared in So Big (1953), a melodrama starring Jane Wyman, then it was back to medium budget action films: Take Me to Town (1953), a Western starring Walter Mirisch (1954), a film noir.

Prince Valiant (1954), who appeared Sir Gawain in a big studio film, later returned to more modern material with Arrow in the Dust (1954). Johnny Guitar (1954) was another Western, but this one starred Joan Crawford and was directed by Nick Ray; it was a box office hit and became a cult favorite. Republic Pictures, which used Hayden on several occasions, funded it.

There were some film noirs out there: Naked Alibi (1954) with Gloria Grahame and Frank Sinatra (1954). It was action (1954), a Korean War movie; Timberjack (1955), a Western for the Republic; Shotgun (1955), a Western by Yvonne de Carlo; The Eternal Sea (1955), a World War II naval tale; a Western for producer Edward Small (1955), a Western for George; Top Gun (1955), a Western for Britain; a Western (1955) a Western for Britain; Top Gun (1955), a Western for producer Edward Small's

The Last Command (1955) was the story of the Alamo for Republic, with Hayden as Jim Bowie. Anne Baxter appeared in The Come On (1956), a film noir. Hayden has also appeared on TV shows such as Celebrity Playhouse.

Hayden appeared in a heist film that turned out to be a masterpiece: The Killing (1956), an early work by director Stanley Kubrick.

A Western (1957), a tragedy film; The Iron Sheriff (1957), a Western; The Iron Sheriff (1958), a Western; Edward Small's Terror in Tulara (1958), a Western; and a Western; A Western on a Texas town (1958), a Western.

He appeared on television shows such as Dick Powell's Zane Grey Theatre, Wagon Train, General Electric Theater, Schlitz Playhouse, Playhouse 90, Goodyear Theatre, and The DuPont Show of the Month.

Hayden has often expressed distaste for film acting, saying that he did it mostly to pay for his ships and voyages. Hayden was given custody of his children in 1958 after a lengthy divorce from Betty Ann de Noon. He defied a court order and sailed to Tahiti with the four children, Christian, Dana, Gretchen, and Matthew.

"I'd never had it," he said. "I felt that I had sold out – or failed – at least half of my entire life." It was either turn things around or hang myself."

The crew sailed from San Francisco Bay to Tahiti, where Hayden had intended to film a film. Dody Weston Thompson, a well-known photographer, was also welcomed to document the trip and to assist with shooting location picks by Hayden. The Wanderer's folio on display includes photographs of Hayden's schooner The Wanderer; on-deck photos of life aboard the ship; colorful photographs of his children, Tahitian women and children; and unique items on shore. The film never appeared in theaters, but according to Dody's notes, the United States had no involvement in the film; however, according to Dody's remarks, the United States did not exist; however, the United States did exist. In 1961, Camera and Travel published her photographs of paradise. Judge Harold Haley of Marin County ordered Hayden to pay Republic Pictures nearly $50,000 to recover the trip's funds.

He married Catherine Devine McConnell in 1960. They had two sons, Andrew and David, and were married until his death in 1986. McConnell also had a son (Scott McConnell), who was from her first marriage to Neil McConnell, who was an heir to Avon's founding family.

Rather than an actor, he said in November 1960 that he was a "sailor or writer" rather than an actor.
