Biography
One of the great stars of American Westerns, and a very popular
leading man in non-Westerns as well. He was born and raised in the
surroundings of Hollywood and as a boy became interested in the
movies that were being made all around. He studied acting at Pomona
College and got some stage experience at the Pasadena Community
Playhouse, where other future stars such as 'Randolph Scott' (qv),
'Robert Young' (qv), and 'Victor Mature' (qv) would also get their
first experience. He worked as an extra after graduation from the
University of Southern California in 1928 and did some stunt work.
In a rare case of an extra being chosen from the crowd to play a
major role, McCrea was given a part in The Jazz Age. A contract at
MGM followed, and then a better contract at RKO. 'Will Rogers' (qv)
took a liking to the young man (they shared a love of ranching and
roping) and did much to elevate McCrea's career. His wholesome good
looks and quiet manner were soon in demand, primarily in romantic
dramas and comedies, and he became an increasingly popular leading
man. He hoped to concentrate on Westerns, but several years passed
before he could convince the studio heads to cast him in one. When
he proved successful in that genre, more and more Westerns came his
way. But he continued to make a mark in other kinds of pictures,
and proved himself particularly adept at the light comedy of
'Preston Sturges' (qv), for whom he made several films. By the late
Forties, his concentration focused on Westerns, and he made few
non-Westerns thereafter. He was immensely popular in them, and most
of them still hold up well today. He and 'Randolph Scott' (qv),
whose career strongly resembles McCrea's, came out of retirement to
make a classic of the genre, 'Sam Peckinpah' (qv)'s _Ride the High
Country (1962)_ (qv). Scott stayed retired thereafter; McCrea made
a couple of appearances in small films afterwards, but was
primarily content to maintain his life as a gentleman rancher. He
was married for fifty-seven years to actress 'Frances Dee' (qv),
who survived him.
