Jason Robards
-
born Jason Nelson
Robards Jn.
26th July 1922
in Chicago.
Son of stage and film star Jason Robards
Sr. After receiving the Navy Cross (the second highest decoration in the
U.S. Navy) for his service in World War II, he struggled as a small-part
actor in local New York theatre, TV, and radio before shooting to fame
on the New York stage in the role of Hickey in Eugene O'Neill's "The Iceman
Cometh." He followed that with another masterful O'Neill portrayal, as
the alcoholic Jamie Tyrone in "Long Day's Journey Into Night" on Broadway.
He entered films in 1959 in The Journey, and rose rapidly to even greater
fame as a film star. Won consecutive Academy Awards for Best Supporting
Actor for All the President's Men (1976) and Julia (1977), in each case
playing real-life persons. Has continued to work on the stage, winning
continued acclaim in works of 'Eugene O'Neill' including "Moon For the
Misbegotten" and "Hughie." Father of actors Jason Robards III and Sam Robards.
His last major film was Magnolia (1999) alongside Tom Cruise - oddly enough
- playing the part of a dying man. See the photos below.
