Robert Taylor Defies Classic Hollywood Image In Tribute
Robert Taylor stood apart from Flynn and Gable, a handsome 1930s 40s lead who preferred modest roots to studio gate pounding. Buried at Forest Lawn, he died at 57 from lung cancer, a career spanning MGM co stars Greta Garbo Joan Crawford Norma Shearer and wartime naval service. He valued natural acting over polished persona, calling Waterloo Bridge his favorite film and maintaining a quietly professional approach to acting despite public image shifts.
