![]() ![]() Perhaps there was a physical problem keeping him out, but fate moves in its strange ways. I could not answer my question, as to why 24-years old Richard never joined the military. After the Pearl Harbor attack, while other actors were going off to fight either "Nazi Germany", or "Imperial Japan", the young actor remained in Hollywood. Next, came seven motion pictures, without receiving on-screen credit for the roles he played, but they moved Richard Crane to, December 7, 1941. Not a bad group to be with for your first feature film. The film co-starred, Ruth Hussey, John Carroll, Rita Hayworth, Nigel Bruce and Bruce Cabot. His first motion picture was directed by George Cukor, and starred, Joan Crawford and Frederick March. Crane first appeared on-screen, with 12th billing, as "Bob", in "Susan and God", released on June 7, 1940. I could not locate any information about Richard's education, or acting before 1940. Richard's mother outlived her son by 10-years and his father would outlive, Richard, by nine months. His father was Otis Ollie Crane and his mother was Edith Oris Dakins Crane. His name was Richard Ollie Crane, and he was born on June 6, 1918, in New Castle, Indiana.
