STERLING HAYDEN

Sterling Hayden was an actor from the 1940s to the 1980s. Paramount had big plans for Hayden but he impulsively joined the OSS (the precursor to the CIA) after the 1941 film Bahama Passage, leaving his beautiful wife Madeleine Carroll and fighting the Germans in all sorts of hair raising adventures in Yugoslavia. Some of his movies include: The Killing, The Asphalt Jungle, The Godfather, Dr. Strangelove (as Jack D. Ripper), The Long Goodbye, Suddenly, and more! He passed away in 1986 at the age of 70.
