Born 1897 as Ernest Frederick McIntyre Bickel in Racine, Wisconsin, American actor Fredric March was regarded as “one of Hollywood's most celebrated, versatile stars of the 1930s and 1940s”. He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde (1931) and The Best Years of Our Lives (1946), as well as the Tony Award for Best Actor in a Play for Years Ago (1947) and Long Day’s Journey into Night (1956).
March is one of only two actors, the other being Helen Hayes, to have won both the Academy Award and the Tony Award twice. He has a star for motion pictures on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, at 1620 Vine Street. In addition, the 500-seat theater at the University of Wisconsin–Oshkosh was formerly named after March.
March died of prostate cancer in 1975 at the age of 77 in Los Angeles. These gorgeous photos captured portrait of a young and handsome Fredric March in the 1930s.
