MINI BIO:

Rugged, latterly mustachioed American star, a former juvenile delinquent, miner, and boxer who turned to acting after World War II. For many years cast as villains and men of violence, he broke through to stardom only in 1968, after which he played heroes and men of violence at just as prolific a rate as before. One of the world's top box office stars through most of the 1970s, he was married (second) to British-born actress Jill Ireland from 1968 to her death. Kept going in craggy leading roles into his late seventies.
