Lawrence Tierney(1919-2002)
- Actor
- Soundtrack
Legendary Hollywood "tough guy", on screen and off. Remembered as the
title character in Dillinger (1945) and as the consummately brutal lover of
Claire Trevor in Born to Kill (1947). Notorious for his frequent, well-publicized barroom brawls and the like, including being stabbed in 1973. In his later years, he continued as a screen actor projecting the hard-as-nails mien
that has been ingrained since his younger days, as evidenced in Quentin Tarantino's Reservoir Dogs (1992).
