Biography

Howard Freeman was an American actor who spent his twenties on the stage before moving into films after turning forty, when he took a small uncredited part in Inflation in 1942. Born in Helena, Montana, he worked steadily from 1943 on, appearing in ten films that year and many more through the 1940s, usually in small but credited supporting roles. Among his busiest years was 1946, which brought twelve pictures, including Abilene Town (1946) opposite Randolph Scott and Lloyd Bridges, and California (1947) with Barbara Stanwyck and Ray Milland. He also appeared on Broadway in plays such as The Star-Wagon and Knickerbocker Holiday. From 1951 television became his main work, with series including Studio One, Car 54, Where Are You? and Route 66, until he retired in 1965. He died in 1967.
