MINI BIO:
Native New Yorker, John Halliday, must have played more cuckolded husbands than most. He trained as a mining engineer in Scotland, served with the British army in the Boer War, and went to Cambridge, before taking up an engineering career in the Nevada mining territory. Amateur performances in Gilbert and Sullivan led him to switch careers to acting, and he became a respected Broadway figure before trying Hollywood at the beginning of the sound era. Now he is best remembered as Katharine Hepburn's wayward dad in "The Philadelphia Story". He retired to Honolulu, where he died from a heart ailment.
