Few actors embodied the versatility of classic Hollywood like Fredric March, an American performer born in Wisconsin who mastered film and the Broadway stage in equal measure. His prestige was built on two Oscars for Best Actor: the first for his dual role in 'Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde' (1931), where he took the transformation of Jekyll into Hyde into the physical and psychological realm, and the second for 'The Best Years of Our Lives' (1946), a moving portrait of returning war veterans. Throughout the 1930s and 1940s he alternated comedy, melodrama and period drama in titles such as 'The Barretts of Wimpole Street'. In the theatre he was equally revered, with two Tony Awards for 'Years Ago' and 'Long Day's Journey into Night'. His register combined elegance, intelligence and a dramatic commitment that placed him among the great figures of his generation.
