NOT SO CRAZY
Richard Basehart was smart enough to take the “twisted" road to success
ANY minute, Richard Basehart expects the little man in the white coat to carry him off in a strait-jacket. Not that Richard isn’t the most normal person alive, but how often can you play mad people and get away with it, he wonders. He started off his movie career as Barbara Stanwyck’s looney brother in “Cry Wolf,” became the mad poet in “Repeat Performance,” the neurotic killer in “He Walked by Night,” and finally, the zany hillbilly in “Roseanna McCoy.” Hollywood’s crazy about him crazy.
When Richard joined a stock company in his hometown of Zanesville, Ohio, at the age of twelve, the local paper, The Zanesville Times Signal, gave him a swell review. The editor, himself, was delighted. No wonder. The boy was his son. Richard’s father had been an actor himself before he became a newspaper man. Richard joined The Hedgerow Theatre group near Philadelphia. After five years, he knew a great deal about every phase of the theater and was ready for Broadway. He auditioned for Margaret Webster, a leading Broadway director, who saw to it that he was cast in “Counterattack.” He went from that success to several flops and several hits, among them, “Othello” and “Ramshackle Inn.” Then he was ready for his big chance as the Scotsman in “The Hasty Heart.” Warners signed him and, a year later, let him go. He subsequently signed with Eagle Lion for “Reign of Terror.”
He met and married costume designer Stephanie Klein while they both were at Hedgerow. Together, they shared in the co-operative profits of the theater which amounted to about six dollars monthly. With thirty members of the group, he shared a room in a dwelling that housed them all and ate whatever was cheapest at the local market. After eight years, he and Stephanie are still married, live in a comfortable Hollywood apartment, have no children, and see the friends they made in New York.
His hair is red, his eyes dark blue, his manner mild. Off screen, that is. But giving off an eerie quality, as he does in “Roseanna McCoy,” well, that’s something else again.
