Early years

Albright was born on December 16, 1903, in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, to traveling vaudeville performers. He made his stage debut in one of his parents' acts at the age of seven.

In June 1926, Albright graduated from Carnegie Tech with a bachelor of arts degree in drama.[2]

Career

Albright gained acting experience as a member of the repertory company of Eva Le Gallienne.[3] His Broadway debut came in Saturday Night (1926).[4]

He was playing the juvenile lead on the stage in The Greeks when a scout from the Fox Company saw him. He was given a contract and headed for Hollywood.[5] Albright made his film debut in 1931 in John G. Blystone's Young Sinners[3] and appeared in numerous films. He provided the (uncredited) voice of the adolescent Bambi in the Disney film of the same title.

Broadway plays in which Albright appeared included All the Living (1938), Behind Red Lights (1937), Play, Genius, Play! (1935), The Greeks Had a Word for It (1930), A Hundred Years Old (1929), Gang War (1928), The Merchant of Venice (1928), Such Is Life (1927), Twelfth Night (1924), John Gabriel Borkman (1926), The Three Sisters (1926), and Saturday Night (1926).[6]

He retired from film acting after World War II and became a drama instructor at UCLA, writing several books on acting and directing during his time there. During the 1960s, he made many guest appearances on television series such as Hazel, Leave It To Beaver, Bewitched and Gunsmoke.[3]

Personal life

In 1934, Albright married actress Martha Sleeper. They divorced in 1939. He married actress Arnita Wallace in 1944, and they remained wed until his death.[1]

Death

On December 7, 1975, Albright died from congestive heart failure at Mission Community Hospital in Mission Viejo, California. His ashes were sprinkled at his former vacation site in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania.[1]

Partial filmography
gollark: So it'll be done with the 10 kilosteps I initially configured soon; I guess I'll run another 16000 or so, which should take about 3 hours.
gollark: The incredible march of technology.
gollark: (ping was in the output, blame the ineffable machinations of it)
gollark: > to have some sort of extremely powerful thing.<|endoftext|><@!341618941317349376> Are you meant to be "regular" or "regular" or something, instead of "subsidies"?<|endoftext|>Also, it seems to have been increasingly disconnected from the whole system.<|endoftext|>It seems like just saying that in the sense of "don't know how to make it", which has fallen out a lot of the time (most of which are not necessarily doing anything) and not having some sort of weird interaction which seems to have fallen out in my eyes when it's not necessary, and which I actually can't actually do anything about it for really long term calls, which need some sort of weird thing.<|endoftext|>So, I have a bunch of cases for different kinds of things, and some of the "smart" lights (with some sort of weird thing where you can't have one) and a bunch of cases for really weird reason.<|endoftext|>I think one of the most deeply nested ones seems to just be some sort of weird interaction between what happened to some network, and to some extent that some of the people involved
gollark: Hmm, looks like it just varies wildly I guess.
