STUDIO SUPERSTARS: RKO, PART 3…
We’re continuing our year-long look at the studios’ top stars with Part 3 on RKO. Radio Pictures produced some fantastic motion pictures during the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s. These films featured some amazing stars like…
Tom Conway was the older brother of George Sanders. He had begun his motion picture career in Hollywood in the early 1940s at MGM in supporting roles. In 1942, brother George whose contract was shared between 20th Century Fox and RKO, wanted out of the Falcon mystery series. So a clever premise was invented, whereby Sanders would turn over the reigns to Conway in a new entry, THE FALCON’S BROTHER. Conway became a hit as the second Falcon, and he wound up making more Falcon pictures than Sanders did. RKO used Conway’s talents in other projects; among them were some notable horror flicks produced by Val Lewton. But success as the Falcon would typecast Tom Conway, and after he left RKO, he did more detective roles at other studios.
Barbara Bel Geddes was 26 when she appeared as teenaged Katrin in RKO’s nostalgic favorite I REMEMBER MAMA. It would be one of her most fondly cherished screen roles. The actress had already been making a name for herself on the New York stage; her earliest Broadway role occurred in 1941. Signing with RKO, she only made three pictures for the studio… other titles included a suspense thriller with Henry Fonda and a western with Robert Mitchum. The reason for her short tenure at RKO had less to do with her talent and more to do with the fact that she didn’t impress Howard Hughes who had assumed control and wanted sexier ingenues on the payroll, not the wholesome type of gal that Bel Geddes symbolized. She soon moved over to Fox and freelanced at other studios in the 1950s and 1960s. But she found greater success back on Broadway, and later she became a household name on television.
Wheeler & Woolsey began making films during the late 1920s. Initially, they supported other stars in musical comedies. But the bosses saw potential in these two clowns, and realized they should headline their own comedies. For most of the 30s, the duo’s unique brand of slapstick was very profitable for RKO. The formula had them dealing with hard-nosed busybodies like Edna May Oliver who tried to stop their shenanigans. The boys would inspire future comedians and gain new fans when their movies were released on home video.
When mogul Howard Hughes bought RKO, a main goal of his was to secure distribution for THE OUTLAW starring Jane Russell. The controversial production had encountered censorship troubles with the production code office. Eventually, the picture was released, and Hughes’ new star was cast in other films made at the studio. These included more westerns, some comedies, and noir with Robert Mitchum. Though she would go on to score hits at Fox and Universal, it was her younger days at RKO when Jane first caused a sensation.
OSCAR HISTORY: ACTRESSES HONORED IN THE 1940s…
Best Actresses
1940: Ginger Rogers..KITTY FOYLE (Romantic Drama)
1941: Joan Fontaine..SUSPICION (Suspense Thriller)
1942: Greer Garson..MRS. MINIVER (War Drama)
1943: Jennifer Jones..THE SONG OF BERNADETTE (Biographical Drama)
1944: Ingrid Bergman..GASLIGHT (Psychological Thriller)
1945: Joan Crawford..MILDRED PIERCE (Noir Melodrama)
1946: Olivia de Havilland..TO EACH HIS OWN (Romantic Drama)
1947: Loretta Young..THE FARMER’S WIFE (Political Satire)
1948: Jane Wyman..JOHNNY BELINDA (Social Message Drama)
1949: Olivia de Havilland..THE HEIRESS (Romantic Drama)
Analysis:
After years of paying her dues alongside Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers became a bonafide star and Oscar recipient all on her own. Unfortunately, the actress was put in several frothy romantic comedies afterward and wasn’t able to capitalize on her newfound success as a dramatic actress. Speaking of comedy, Loretta Young’s victory in 1947 was a major upset. Not only did she win for a light comedic role, which rarely happens, she prevented industry favorite Rosalind Russell from snagging the trophy.
Meanwhile Olivia de Havilland came into her own, after a lengthy contract dispute at Warner Brothers. As a freelancer, she earned accolades for two noteworthy performances at Paramount.
Best Supporting Actresses
1940: Jane Darwell..THE GRAPES OF WRATH (Social Message Drama)
1941: Mary Astor..THE GREAT LIE (Romantic Drama)
1942: Teresa Wright..MRS. MINIVER (War Drama)
1943: Katina Paxinou..FOR WHOM THE BELL TOLLS (War Drama)
1944: Ethel Barrymore..NONE BUT THE LONELY HEART (Drama)
1945: Anne Revere..NATIONAL VELVET (Equestrian Drama)
1946: Anne Baxter..THE RAZOR’S EDGE (Social Message Drama)
1947: Celeste Holm..GENTLEMAN’S AGREEMENT (Social Message Drama)
1948: Claire Trevor..KEY LARGO (Crime Drama)
1949: Mercedes McCambridge..ALL THE KING’S MEN(Political Drama)
Analysis:
If there was ever a case of an actress not landing better parts after earning an Oscar, it’s Jane Darwell. She was unable to translate her Academy Award winning performance as Ma Joad in John Ford’s adaptation of Steinbeck’s classic novel into any substantial roles after this. She would still do thankless minor parts and glorified cameos. But she did a dilly of a job in THE GRAPES OF WRATH.
Arguably, the decade’s best supporting work came from two actresses playing addicted women. Anne Baxter gave a searing performance as an opium addict in THE RAZOR’S EDGE; and Claire Trevor redefined tipsy as a washed-up lush in KEY LARGO.
