Edward G. Robinson


Edward G. Robinson tuvo su participación en Hollywood hace mucho tiempo, aunque su importancia lo mantiene como una de las estrellas de la época dorada. Robinson se oponía a Hitler y colaboró en el esfuerzo norteamericano cuando pudo hacerlo. También tuvo su período crítico por culpa del Red Scare y formó parte de las listas negras de Hollywood.

"At Ellis Island I was born again," he wrote. "Life for me began when I was 10 years old."

Edward G. Robinson was born in 1893. He appeared in 30 Broadway plays and more than 100 films during a 50-year career and is best remembered for his tough-guy roles as gangsters in such films as Little Caesar and Key Largo.

During the 1950s, he was called to testify at the House Un-American Activities Committee during the Red Scare, but was cleared of any deliberate Communist involvement.
