MINI BIO:
Tallow-haired Hollywood actor in films after being spotted in off-Broadway plays. Bridges's screen characters were usually unreliable: braggarts who would back down; charmers who would let you down. He had a nice line in cynical sneers, and it was a pity he didn't rise above about fifth place on cast lists until the early fifties. TV gave him his greatest success in an underwater series called Sea Hunt, and he continued to work prodigiously in the medium, later blossoming as a comedy actor. Briefly blacklisted 1953/4 after admitting past Communist affiliations, he was the father of actors Beau and Jeff Bridges. Battling pancreatic cancer in 1998, he died the same year from congestive heart failure. (Source: available at Amazon Quinlan's Film Stars).HONORS and AWARDS:

He was honored with one star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in the category of Television. Bridges was never nominated for an Academy Award.
