About Robert Young
The son of Irish immigrant Thomas E. Young and American mother Margaret Fyfe, Young was born in Chicago. When Young was a young child, the family relocated to several different cities across the country, including Seattle and Los Angeles, where Young attended Abraham Lincoln High School.
Following college, he worked odd jobs, studied, and played at the Pasadena Playhouse while also playing bit roles in silent movies. A Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer talent scout spotted Young when he was on the road with a stock company that was producing “The Ship” and the studio immediately signed the budding actor to a contract. In the 1931 Charlie Chan film Black Camel, starring Warner Oland, Young made his sound-film debut for Fox Film Corporation.
Between 1928 and 1952, Young made almost 100 movie appearances. He co-starred with some of the most renowned females in the studio, including Katharine Hepburn, Margaret Sullavan, Norma Shearer, Joan Crawford, Helen Hayes, Luise Rainer, Hedy Lamarr, Helen Twelvetrees, and (unrelated) Loretta Young, despite his “tier B” rank.
