George Winslow

George Winslow was born on May 03, 1946 in USA. George Winslow's big-screen debut came with Room for One More directed by Norman Taurog in 1952, strarring Teenie. George Winslow is known for An Affair to Remember directed by Leo McCarey, Cary Grant stars as Nickie Ferrante and Deborah Kerr as Terry McKay. The upcoming new movie George Winslow plays is Summer Love which will be released on Jun 25, 1958.

The dark blond with deep blue eyes and cute "Buster Brown" haircut who was equipped with a deadly acute, dry facade was born George Karl Wentzlaff in Los Angeles on May 3, 1946. While it would have been hard for anyone to steal scenes from the likes of such veteran comedy superstars as Marilyn Monroe, Clifton Webb or Cary Grant, six-year-old frozen-faced Georgie, with his inimitable froggy bass voice, managed to do just that, lending a grudging credence to W.C. Fields' philosophy about working with child actors and/or animals.Small and slight even for his young age, George was initially pitched to Art Linkletter by his parents (his father's name was Karl) at the encouragement of an uncle for the family-oriented radio program "People Are Funny" in the early 1950s. The boy's unique raspy tones and hilariously deadpan delivery was a huge hit on the show. When Art asked George his name, the youngster replied, "George Wentzlaff, but I'd rather be Casey Jones." That one sentence alone had the audience (not to mention Linkletter himself) in absolute stitches. Against the usual Linkletter policy, the boy was allowed to return to Linkletter's show, and did so a record number of times (around 20).Luckily, Cary Grant, also caught the boy on the show, was quite taken by the boy's sharp and mature comedy instincts, not to mention his startlingly funny voice and brought him to the attention of director Norman Taurog who met and interviewed the boy. Equally impressed, he signed George on for a role in Grant's film Cette sacrée famille (1952). The success of this movie led to Warner Bros. putting the boy under contract. Two years later Twentieth Century-Fox bought out his contract. Earning the nickname of "Foghorn,", George made a strong impression in My Pal Gus (1952), which won him a Critic's Award, and reappeared with Cary Grant again in Chérie, je me sens rajeunir (1952) which co-starred Ginger Rogers and a rising Marilyn Monroe. He showed up again with Monroe in what would be his most famous role. In the classic Les hommes préfèrent les blondes (1953), George predictably stole his scenes as Monroe's wealthy young admirer and interested suitor, topped by a classic blue-ribbon line about her possessing a "certain animal magnetism."Other than trading barbs with the acerbic Clifton Webb in the film comedy Mister Scoutmaster (1953), however, the boy's later films paled in comparison. His work in The Rocket Man (1954), Artistes et modèles (1955), Elle et lui (1957), Rock, Pretty Baby (1956) and Sur la piste de la mort (1958) only proved that the gimmick was beginning to wear thin. In all George made eleven pictures. He also popped up on TV comedy, appearing in episodes of The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet (1952), Blondie (1957), and Dear Phoebe (1954).With age came a certain awkwardness and a sign of the times. As happens to many child actors, George was not able to transition his lovable persona into an adult career -- not even close. By the age of 12, he had not only lost his appeal and naturalness before the camera, but his trademark basso profundo voice. He officially retired from show business before reaching his teens, completely shunning the spotlight in later years.George reverted back to his real name of Wentzlaff. After enlisting for four years in the Navy, George took a course in photography upon his discharge and developed a strong interest in making it his profession. He also worked for the Sonoma County Council on Aging in California. He retired as a postal worker and settled in Camp Meeker, California. Unmarried, he died of a heart attack at age 69 on June 13, 2015.
