Born October 6, 1897 Character Actor Jerome Cowan!
The dapper and moustachioed Character Actor, Jerome Cowan, played over 200 roles including Dagwood’s boss in the Blondie films and Arthur Miller in the Astaire/Rogers film, Shall We Dance — but he is probably best known as the doomed Miles Archer in The Maltese Falcon & the District Attorney who must prosecute Santa Claus in Miracle on 34th Street!
