DEAN JAGGER

Dean Jagger was born in 1903. Although he started in movies in 1929, he is best remembered for the movies he made in his late forties, when he was a very dependable character actor in movies such as 12 O'Clock High (winner of the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), and in Executive Suite, Bad Day at Black Rock, White Christmas, and many others. But did you know that in 1940 he played the title role in Brigham Young? He studied the religion when preparing for the role, converting many years later. He passed away in 1991 at the age of 87.
