Charles Dingle Overview:
Character actor, Charles Dingle, was born on Dec 28, 1887 in Wabash, IN. Dingle died at the age of 68 on Jan 19, 1956 in Worcester, MA .
MINI BIO:
Stocky American actor with a mane of greying hair. A Broadway player who only came to films in his fifties, he often played twinkling-eyed, avuncular sorts who were not as benevolent as they looked. His powerful build also led him to playing some crooked figures of authority. From the late 1940s on, he mixed stage, television, and film appearances to equal measure. Probably remains best-remembered as one of Bette Davis's scheming relatives in The Little Foxes.

Ben Hubbard: They're to bring the machine to the cotton, and not the cotton to the machine.
Ben Hubbard: [to Regina] That's cynical. But, cynicism is an unpleasant way of telling the truth.
Ben Hubbard: I always say to myself, I don't like nervous people. I can't trust 'em. Leo, you are one of the people who bore me. An' I'm getting' too old to wanna' be bored. I'm just getting' so I hate it. Now you take your nerves on outta' here and go upstairs and take a warm bath. That'll be good for you - a nice, warm bath.
