1 | In photo 1 of 3, it cannot be Dane Clark because he died in 1998. |
2 | Is interred at Mount Sinai Memorial Park in Los Angeles, CA. |
3 | He was an avid bowler who was known to seldom miss a strike. He was so successful at this sport that in his home he used two spare rooms to hold his large trophy collection. |
4 | He has a Star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame located on South Side of the 6900 block of Hollywood Boulevard. |
5 | Was close friends with Glenn Ford and Dick Powell. |

7 | A staunch Republican, he once abruptly left a public black tie event when President Jimmy Carter and his wife entered the room. |
8 | He had a strong dislike of actor John Garfield. He worked with him in two films and considered him to be extremely arrogant and strongly disagreed with him politically; so much to the point that the only time he and Garfield spoke to one another was in character. |
9 | In 1996 director James Cameron called Clark at his California home asking him if he'd be interested to come of out retirement to star as Captain Edward John Smith in Titanic (1997) but he declined the offer based on health issues. |
10 | He was considered for the male leads, but never screen tested, in such films as The Asphalt Jungle (1950), 99 River Street (1953), The Bridge on the River Kwai (1957), and Picnic (1955). |
11 | Upon the death of his first wife, Clark had every painting she ever created sent from New York to California where he had them displayed throughout his home for the remainder of his life. |
12 | Was given a 1948 Buick Roadmaster by Jack L. Warner as a birthday present. |
13 | His widow was a real estate agent. |
14 | Both of his marriages were childless. |
15 | In 1955, he was starring in a stage production of "The Shrike" at the old Carthay Circle Theater in Los Angeles with actress Isabel Bonner who died unexpectedly in his arms during a love scene from a sudden brain hemorrhage. |
16 | In the September 1946 edition of Movie Life Magazine he was dubbed "the most stylish actor in Hollywood". |
17 | A registered Republican, he publically endorsed Richard Nixon and Ronald Reagan for president. |
18 | Was considered at one point to play Al Jolson in a remake of "The Jazz Singer" but the whole idea was scrapped for years later until Danny Thomas was given a title role in the early 1950s remake. |
19 | Made his Broadway debut in Orson Welles' Mercury Theatre production of "Panic" in 1935. |
20 | His father owned a sporting goods store in New York City. |
