  7. Por las fechas en que estuvo incluido en los repartos parece ser que fue uno de esos grandes actores de la época dorada de Hollywood.
    Creo que en USA solo se usáis el apellido paterno y por eso se puede llegar a tener errores al saber quien es el padre o el hijo si se le pone el mismo nombre. Aquí se usan el apellido del padre y luego el de la madre de forma genérica ya que últimamente se pueden poner en orden inverso. La mujer usa sus apellidos toda la vida.

    Saludos.
