Hollywood leading men were supposed to be strong, virile, and brave, but Clifton Webb (1889-1966) projected an image of flip, acerbic arrogance. Webb was a child actor and later a suavely effete song-and-dance man in numerous Broadway musicals and revues. The turning point in his career came in 1941 when his good friend Noël Coward cast him in Blithe Spirit'. Director Otto Preminger saw Webb's performance and cast him in Laura' in 1944. Webb began to write his autobiography but only completed six chapters and left a hefty collection of notes.
