Hans Conried was once described by the well-known Hollywood gossip
columnist Hedda Hopper as "a high-strung, droll fellow, plagued by
a multitude of talents." Conried was indeed a talented and
versatile actor, but his talent often went unrecognized because his
versatility worked against him and made it difficult for him to
find his niche as an actor. Hans Conried gets the recognition he
deserves in this work. Part One covers his birth in 1917 and his
early years, the launch of his career as a radio actor, his move to
motion pictures, his marriage, and his military service in the
Philippines, Korea, and Japan in World War II. Part Two deals with
Conrieds return to the United States following the war, the birth
of his first child, the decline of radio and his first television
performances, and his involvement with such productions as The 5000
Fingers of Dr. T, The Twonky, Peter Pan, Can-Can, and numerous
others. Part Three details his work with Jack Paar (Conried became
a semi-regular "television personality" on the early Tonight Show),
his summer stock theater work, and his work doing guest spots on
various programs and providing voices for cartoon characters. Part
Four discusses Conrieds final years touring with stock productions,
his increasing health problems and problems at home, and his death
in 1982.
