Donald Cook

Cook, Donald (1901–61), comic actor. The slightly foppish, nasal‐voiced high comedian was born in Portland, Oregon, and played in vaudeville before turning to the legitimate stage. Among his memorable roles were Jim Hutton, the unfaithful young husband, in Paris Bound (1927), the neglected husband Tony Kenyon in Skylark (1939), the frustrated husband David Naughton in Claudia (1941), Elyot Chase, opposite Tallulah Bankhead in a 1948 revival of Private Lives, the libertine father David Slater in The Moon Is Blue (1951), and the egomaniacal cartoonist Larry Larkin in King of Hearts (1954). He was co‐starring opposite Julie Harris in the tryout of A Shot in the Dark at the time of his death.
