The Bad-Good Good-Bad Guy: Dan Duryea in The Underworld Story

By Mark on Mar 27, 2014 From Where Danger Lives

Dan Duryea Facts
Father of Richard Duryea, born July 14, 1942.

While working on the stage in New York City, Duryea made his film debut in an uncredited bit in El tango en Broadway (1934); about 33 minutes into the film, he asks Laurita to dance, and a few moments later, brings her back to her table and thanks her. Even though the film is primarily Spanish speaking, all his dialogue is in English, since the scene takes place at a New York City nightclub.

In the movie version Winchester '73 (1950), he played Waco Johnnie Dean, the nemesis of the protagonist, Lin McAdams. In the television version of Winchester 73 (1967) (TV), Duryea played Bart McAdams.
