Often typecast as a villain, he played the definitive bad guy in such films as \u003ci\u003eDestry Rides Again, Union Pacific\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eBeau Geste\u003c\/i\u003e (all in 1939). He showed his versatility in the title role of Preston Sturges' political satire \u003ci\u003eThe Great McGinty\u003c\/i\u003e (1940) and impressed both New York critics and the Soviet government as the cooly authoritative Major Caton in \u003ci\u003eWake Island\u003c\/i\u003e (1942). Donlevy was fondly remembered as globe-trotting U.S. Special Agent Steve Mitchell in the television series \u003ci\u003eDangerous Assignment\u003c\/i\u003e (1952) and as Professor Quatermass in two acclaimed science fiction films. This first ever biography of Donlevy covers his colorful early life as a boy soldier, his years playing comedy roles on Broadway and his long career in Hollywood.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDerek Sculthorpe\u003c\/b\u003e, an archives assistant and researcher, has written plays, short stories and articles.
