Facts

#Fact
1Tennessee Williams wrote the one-act play "Auto-da-Fe" (his only verse play) specifically for Abbott.
2Following repertory stage work in Watford and Crewe, Abbott was invited by Tyrone Guthrie to join the Old Vic in 1936 where he played such roles as Nathaniel in "Love's Labour's Lost" and Prospero in "The Tempest".
3Had an early career as a commercial artist when he substituted for a sick friend in an amateur theatre production and was discovered by Sybil Thorndike.
4In 1937, he was part of the legendary production of "Hamlet" performed in Elsinore with Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh.
5In 1944, Abbott was cast in the lead role of Elwood P. Dowd on Broadway in Mary Chase's "Harvey", but argued that the writer was wrong to have the play's imaginary six-foot rabbit visible on stage. He left the production due to "artistic differences". Author Chase later deferred to his judgment and the show became a hit -- without Abbott.
6Was blacklisted during the Red Scare of the 1950s. It seems that already blacklisted author Dalton Trumbo had used Abbott's name at one point as an alias. Eventually, a producer, wanting to hire Abbott, was able to have his name removed from the list.
7In his later years, he taught acting and inspired some of Hollywood's most famous young actors of that time.
8Worked for the British Embassy in Moscow during World War II. After leaving his position and returning home to England, he made a stop in the United States and was offered a Hollywood film role in 1941. Wound up staying and settling there for the rest of his life.
9A well-known Shakespearean actor in 1930s England.
10His gaunt face and morose countenance made him a marketable character player, most adept at playing sinister, eccentric roles.
