Laird CregarBorn 28 July 1914 Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, USA Died 9 December 1944 Los Angeles, California, USA. (heart attack) His funeral eulogy was delivered by Vincent Price. Cregar supported himself as a bouncer early in his career. The formally-trained actor and son of a rich Philadelphian, sometimes had to sleep in a car due to lack of money before his acting career took off. Best remembered as the title character in The Lodger (1944). Seldom weighing less than 300 pounds throughout his adult life, Cregar came to a tragic end because of his obsession to become a slim, what he called a "beautiful man". His rapid loss of one-hundred pounds may have contributed to a deadly heart attack. notable films: I Wake Up Screaming (1941) This Gun for Hire (1942) The Lodger (1944) Heaven Can Wait (1943) Cregar Cregar Cregar
