With his brushy eyebrows, his muzzle chaffouin, his beautiful mine, he was one of the most vibrant presences of American cinema, where his career spread over nearly six decades. Remarkable Second Role Comedian, Dean Stockwell knew how to cross the bias movies, giving them a touch of both familiar and equivocal.
Past in front of the cameras of Joseph Losey, from Elia Kazan, David Lynch, from Wim Wenders, his career is that of a generation that grew up on the ashes of the Hollywood gold age, who did The big jump in the unknown. Its adventurous choices will have a long history of popularity that it will only be found in television sheets, particularly in Quantum code (1989-1993). He died on Sunday, November 7, at home, New Mexico, at the age of 85.
Born March 5, 1936, in Los Angeles, California, Dean Stockwell is a child of the ball: his mother is comedian of Vaudeville, and his father a scene singer, known for lending his voice to the prince’s character In Snow White and seven dwarves (1937). Lived on the boards by a Headhunter of the MGM, he signs, at 9, his first contract, and becomes, with his chubby bouille and his curly hair, a popular pump of the lion-headed studio.
He shares the poster with Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra (stopover in Hollywood, George Sidney, in 1945), gives the replica to Gregory Peck, Greer Garson, Errol Flynn. His excellent reputation on the plateaus suggested him with important roles in two masterpieces on childhood: the boy with green haired (1948), Antiracist parabola of Joseph Losey, and the young narrator of the magnificent stars in my Crown (1950), Chronicle of the old South realized by Jacques turner. In 1959 and 1962, it is rewarded from the male interpretation price in Cannes for the genius of evil (Richard Fleischer) and long trip to the night (Sidney Lumet).

The actor is more than once returned to this past child’s past to tell the cursed share: fatigue, lassitude, pressure to be a source of income for his parents, a whole RAPT of Childhood, sucked in the endless turning centrifuge. Growing up will necessarily be in a complex report in Hollywood, where roles will never fall as before. The boards will be for him, as for a lot, a salvation where to perfect his gaming techniques.
