Fred MacMurray made 35 films for Paramount from 1935 to 1955. He started as a musician and then began appearing in films in small supporting parts. But his fortunes improved when the studio cast him as a romantic lead opposite Claudette Colbert in THE GILDED LILY. He was an overnight sensation, and he and Colbert would go on to make many more films together. MacMurray was able to work well across different genres, and his popularity increased throughout the late ’30s and 1940s. By the end of his second decade in Hollywood, he began freelancing, but occasionally he went back to his old home studio.
