His biggest break came when he earned a supporting role as a pilot in Winged Victory (1944) after toiling in obscurity for nearly six years. Lon also stood out in the film Stage Door Canteen (1943), as the unassuming soldier who falls for canteen hostess Marjorie Riordan, and in the warm and winning horse-racing tale Zu Hause in Indiana (1944), opposite rising star Jeanne Crain. Never married, Lon had an off-and-on romantic relationship with fellow actor William Eythe until Eythe's untimely death in 1957. Having been in declining health for some time, he was living in the Lake Tahoe area, where he had recently bought some property, when he died on June 11, 2005, of congestive heart failure, at the age of 82. | | Average movie rating Based on 17 movies and 286 ratingsHighest rated: 7.9 / 10 Yankee Doodle...
