From a man reporting his own murder in \u003ci\u003eD.O.A.\u003c\/i\u003e (1949) to the conflicted title character in \u003ci\u003eThe Bigamist\u003c\/i\u003e (1953), he portrayed the confusion of the postwar Everyman. His memorable roles spanned genres from Shakespeare to westerns and comedies--he also turned his hand to directing. He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor as the harassed press agent Oscar Muldoon in Joseph Mankiewicz's bitter Cinderella fable \u003ci\u003eThe Barefoot Contessa\u003c\/i\u003e (1954). This first in-depth study of O'Brien charts his life and career from Broadway to Hollywood and to the rise of television, revealing a devoted family man dedicated to his craft.\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.
