Walter Catlett arrived on Broadway via the stock company in his hometown of San Francisco. He appeared in his first show in 1911, The Prince of Pilsen, and introduced “Lady Be Good” in the Gershwins’ 1924 show of that name. He also appeared in several of Ziegfield’s Follies and in the 1920 musical comedy Sally, music and lyrics by Jerome Kern and Clifford Grey. But Catlett is best known to moviegoers as the confused, fussy, spectacled character actor in many of Hollywood’s top films. His career was a long one, from 1924’s silent Second Youth to 1957’s Beau James in which he played New York governor Al Smith. Some of his more memorable roles include Murphy in The Front Page (1931), the small-town sheriff in Bringing Up Baby (1938), and the flustered colonel in The Inspector General (1949). He played in westerns (Wild Bill Hickok Rides, 1941), comedies (Mr. Deeds Goes to Town, 1936), dramas (Friendly Persuasion, 1956), and musicals (Yankee Doodle Dandy, 1942). He even did the voice-over for J. Worthington Foulfellow in Disney’s Pinocchio (1940) and left filmdom a happier place for his presence.
