About John Garfield in brief
John Garfield was an American actor who played brooding, rebellious, working-class characters. He grew up in poverty in New York City. In the early 1930s, he became a member of the Group Theater. In 1937, he moved to Hollywood, eventually becoming one of Warner Bros.’stars. Called to testify before the U.S. Congressional House Committee on Un-American Activities, he denied communist affiliation and refused to name names. Some have alleged that the stress of this persecution led to his premature death at 39 from a heart attack. Garfield is acknowledged as a predecessor of such Method actors as Marlon Brando, Montgomery Clift, and James Dean. In varying degrees, all would become influential in Garfield’s later career. He would later say of his time on the streets there, that he learned “all the meanness, all the toughness it’s possible for kids to acquire.’” Garfield died in a car crash in Los Angeles, California, in 1987. He was buried in a private ceremony at the Los Angeles Jewish Cemetery. He is survived by his wife, two children, and a step-daughter.
