Elliott Sullivan
Passed away this day in 1974
American Guest in On Her Majesty’s Secret Service
Elliott Sullivan was born in San Antonio, Texas in 1907 and
at some point before heading west to Hollywood in 1937, Sullivan developed and
honed his acting skills on the New York stage. Looking through his filmography
of over 120 acting credits, Sullivan was quite often cast as characters that
were hardened by crime or by military. Many of his appearances were in film,
but he did work on some television shows as well.
According to a New York Times biography, Sullivan was one of
many individuals blacklisted from Hollywood during the 1950s and as a result, he moved to
England where he worked as a dialogue coach. After a nine-year hiatus (1958 –
1967), Sullivan started making a comeback. Besides being cast in OHMSS (1969), Sullivan worked alongside Rod Steiger and John Phillip Law in The
Sergeant (1968), on Anne of Green
Gables (1972) as Matthew Cuthbert, in the
sexy Vampyres (1974) as an
American Man, and with Robert Redford and Mia Farrow in The Great
Gatsby (1974).
Sullivan passed away of a fatal heart attack in Los Angeles
at the age of 66.
