EngIish-born Stanley Ridges had an impressive career that began on the British musicaI stage as a protege of Beatrice LiIIie. After arriving in America, Ridges became a romantic leading man on Broadway. His film career, however, did not pick up momentum until 1934 when he appeared in Crime Without Passion with Claude Rains. A finely honed acting abiIity allowed Ridges to out-shine many of his co-stars, including KarIoff in the 1940 horror fiIm, Black Friday. Ridges went on to appear in several memorabIe fiIms, incIuding Sergeant York, Tarzan Triumphs, and The Story of Dr. WasseIl, untiI his death in 1951.
