In 1931, Raymond Massey (1896-1983) starred in his first talking picture as
Sherlock Holmes in The Speckled Band. He divided his time between stage
and screen, offering excellent performances in major motion-picture efforts
(The Scarlet Pimpernal, 1935 and Things to Come, 1936).
Massey's appearance in Abe Lincoln in Illinois was his most famous
role; he appeared in the Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway production and then
repeated his Lincoln characterization in this film version, earning an Academy
Award nomination as Best Actor. Twenty-two years later, he played a cameo as
Honest Abe in How the West Was Won (1962). On television, Massey hosted
the 1955 syndicated anthology I Spy, and more memorably was Dr.
Gillespie in the weekly series Dr. Kildare. Fine
