Description

With no formal training as an actor, Welsh-born Ray Milland (1907–1986), a former trooper in the British Army's Household Cavalry, enjoyed a half-century career working alongside some of the great directors and stars from the Golden Age of cinema.

He won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance as the alcoholic writer in The Lost Weekend (1946), a defining moment that enabled him to break free from romantic leads and explore darker shades of his debonair demeanor, such as the veiled menace of his scheming husband in Hitchcock's Dial M For Murder (1954). A consummate professional with wide range, Milland took the directorial reins in several of his starring vehicles in the 1950s, most notably in the intelligent Western A Man Alone (1955).

He comfortably slipped into most genres, from romantic comedy to adventure to film noir.

Later he turned to science fiction and horror movies, including two with cult filmmaker Roger Corman.

This first complete filmography covers the actor's screen career, with a concise introductory biography and an appendix listing his extensive radio and television credits.
