Paul Stewart Biografía y Hechos
Paul Stewart (nacido Paul Sternberg; 13 de marzo de 1908 - 17 de febrero de 1986) fue un actor, director y productor estadounidense que trabajó en teatro, radio, cine y televisión. Con frecuencia interpretó personajes cínicos y siniestros a lo largo de su carrera. Amigo y socio de Orson Welles durante muchos años, Stewart ayudó a Welles a conseguir su primer trabajo en la radio y fue productor asociado del célebre programa de radio "La guerra de los mundos", en el que también actuó. Stewart, uno de los actores del Mercury Theatre que hizo su debut cinematográfico en la histórica película de Welles Citizen Kane, interpretó al mayordomo y ayuda de cámara de Kane, Raymond. Apareció en 50 películas y actuó o dirigió unos 5.000 programas de radio y televisión. Biografía Paul Stewart nació en Manhattan, Nueva York, el 13 de marzo de 1908, como Paul Sternberg.[1] Sus padres eran Maurice D. Sternberg, vendedor y agente de crédito de un fabricante textil, y Nathalie C. (de soltera Nathanson) Sternberg; ambos nacieron en Minneapolis.[2] Stewart asistió a una escuela pública y completó dos años en la Universidad de Columbia,[3][4] estudiando derecho. Había obtenido el primer lugar en el Torneo de Teatro de Belasco en 1925 y se decidió por la carrera de actor.[5] Stewart comenzó su carrera teatral en Nueva York cuando era adolescente.[6] Hizo su debut en Broadway en 1930, en Subway Express.[7]Luego apareció en la obra de 1931, Two Seconds, adaptada al cine al año siguiente.[8] En 1932, después de dos créditos adicionales en Broadway,[9][10] Stewart se mudó a Cincinnati y comenzó a trabajar en la estación de radio WLW.[11] Allí, en 1928, el pionero de la radio Fred Smith había creado el programa Newscasting, que en 1931 se convirtió en la popular serie de noticias nacional, The March of Time.[12] Durante 13 meses, Stewart trabajó en todos los aspectos de la producción de radio en WLW: actuación, locución, dirección, producción, escritura y creación de efectos de sonido. Cuando regresó a Nueva York estaba en The March of Time[11] y era miembro del cuerpo de actores de élite de la radio. En 1934, Stewart presentó a Orson Welles al director Knowles Entrikin, quien le dio a Welles su primer trabajo en la radio, en The American School of the Air.[13] "Me presentaba a audiciones y nunca conseguí un trabajo hasta que conocí a Paul Stewart", recordó Welles. "Es un hombre encantador; durante años fue uno de los pilares principales de nuestras transmisiones de Mercury. No se le puede dar tanto crédito".[13] En marzo de 1935, Stewart vio la representación teatral de Welles en la obra en verso Panic de Archibald MacLeish y lo recomendó al director Homer Fickett. Welles fue audicionado y contratado para unirse a la compañía de repertorio que presentó The March of Time.[14] "Era como una sociedad anónima, cuyos miembros eran los aristócratas de esta relativamente nueva profesión de actuación radiofónica", escribió el también actor Joseph Julian. En ese momento, Julian tuvo que contentarse con ser una voz indistinguible en escenas de multitudes, envidiando este "círculo sagrado" que incluía a Stewart, Welles, Kenny Delmar, Arlene Francis, Gary Merrill, Agnes Moorehead, Jeanette Nolan, Everett Sloane, Richard Widmark,[15] Art Carney, Ray Collins, Pedro de Córdoba, Ted de Corsia, Juano Hernández, Nancy Kelly, John McIntire, Jack Smart y Dwight Weist. The March of Time fue uno de los programas de radio más populares.[16] Stewart fue uno de los fundadores de la Federación Estadounidense de Artistas de Radio en agosto de 1937 y uno de sus funcionarios inaugurales.[17] Llevaba el carnet número 39 en el sindicato y era delegado frecuente en la convención nacional.[11] También fue miembro de la junta directiva del Sindicato de Actores de Cine y miembro del Sindicato de Directores de Estados Unidos y de la Academia de Artes y Ciencias Cinematográficas.[6] Stewart desempeñó varios papeles durante el memorable mandato de Welles como Lamont Cranston en La Sombra (septiembre de 1937-septiembre de 1938).[18][19] En 1938, Welles amplió el alcance del Mercury Theatre de Broadway a la radio con su serie de CBS, The Mercury Theatre on the Air, y Stewart se convirtió en su productor asociado.[20] Además de desempeñar varios papeles en la serie dramática y su continuación patrocinada, The Campbell Playhouse, Stewart hizo contribuciones significativas a la célebre emisión, "La guerra de los mundos", como director de ensayo, actor y coguionista.[13][21] Welles dijo más tarde que Stewart merecía la mayor parte del crédito por la calidad de "La guerra de los mundos".[22][23] El 14 de enero de 1939, en Arlington, Virginia, Stewart se casó con la actriz y cantante Peg LaCentra (1910-1996), vocalista de la primera orquesta de Artie Shaw que trabajó en radio, cine y televisión.[24][25] Ese septiembre Welles llamó a Stewart a Nueva York.[18][26][27] El papel más famoso de Stewart es su debut en la pantalla como Raymond, el cínico mayordomo en Citizen Kane (1941).[22] La actriz Ruth Warrick, que interpretó a la primera esposa de Kane, recordó que Stewart le dijo en el estreno de la película en Nueva York: "A partir de esta noche, dondequiera que vayamos o hagamos lo que hagamos en nuestras vidas, siempre seremos identificados con el ciudadano Kane".[28] En el escenario, Stewart apareció en la aclamada producción de Native Son del Mercury Theatre, dirigida por Welles y producida por John Houseman en el Teatro Saint James del 24 de marzo al 28 de junio de 1941.[7][29] Durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial, Stewart sirvió en la Oficina de Información de Guerra con sede en Nueva York (1941-43)[30] y narró documentales como The World at War (1942).[31] Trabajó con John Houseman en la recién creada Voz de América (1942-1943), transmitiendo noticias, editoriales y comentarios de la prensa estadounidense, y citas de discursos destacados, a audiencias de Europa.[32] Cuando Houseman prestó juramento de lealtad como ciudadano estadounidense en marzo de 1943, eligió a Stewart para que lo acompañara como testigo.[32] A Stewart se le dio permiso para ir a Hollywood para actuar en algunas películas de tiempos de guerra, incluida Mr. Lucky (1943),[11] y trabajó como ladrón en The Mercury Wonder Show, un espectáculo de magia y variedades producido por Welles y Joseph Cotten como entretenimiento para elevar la moral de los soldados estadounidenses.[18] Debido a su amplia experiencia en radio, el Secretario del Tesoro de los Estados Unidos, Henry Morgenthau Jr., pidió a Stewart que preparara programas de radio utilizados para promover la compra de bonos de guerra durante la Segunda Guerra Mundial.[5] Produjo y dirigió la emisión del Préstamo de la Quinta Guerra de Welles desde el Hollywood Bowl el de junio de 1944[13] y produjo, dirigió y actuó en varios episodios patrióticos de la serie de radio Cavalcade of America.[33] Después de la guerra, Stewart empezó a trabajar para David O. Selznick y Dore .... Descubre los libros populares de Paul Stewart. Encuentra los 100 libros más populares de Paul Stewart
