Jeff Chandler

Jeff Chandler Headshot

Actor • Producer • Singer

Birth Date: December 15, 1918

Death Date: June 17, 1961

Birth Place: Brooklyn, New York

Tough, virile lead with prematurely steel grey, wavy hair and a muscular physique who starred in action films of the late 1940s and 50s, often as American Indians (three times as Cochise), gangsters, cavalrymen and "natives." Not a docile star, Chandler rebelled against Universal's mediocre action projects and was suspended several times. Chandler's career was cut short by his premature death--due to blood poisoning after routine spinal surgery for a slipped disc--at age 42.
