John Garfield
John Garfield (born March 4, 1913 in New York City; died May 21, 1952 in New York City) was an American actor. Born Jacob Julius Garfinkle to a family of Jewish immigrants, he was sent to a school for problem children after the early death of his mother. It was there that he was introduced to boxing and acting. He won a scholarship to an acting school hosted by Maria Ouspenskaya, and made his Broadway debut in 1932. The play Golden Boy was written for him, but he was passed over for the role. He decided to leave Broadway and try his success in Hollywood. In 1938 he received critical acclaim and a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his role in Four Daughters.
