His father was the city editor of the "Deseret News"; and after a weary night of reporting on the blaze, he finally had the chance to put in a call to the hospital to learn of his son's birth. The next morning when he told his three other sons about their new brother, they were unimpressed. They had been up all night watching the fire, and another brother seemed much less interesting. His performance as Bruno Anthony in "Strangers on a Train" (1951) is ranked #86 on Premiere Magazine's 100 Greatest Performances of All Time (2006). In December of 1948 he made national news when he fled from a Topeka, Kansas psychiatric clinic and smashed up the local police station after being arrested for public drunkenness.
