Farley Earle Granger was born in 1925 in San Jose, California, to Eva (Hopkins) and Farley Earle Granger, who owned an automobile dealership. Right out of high school, he was brought to the attention of movie producer Samuel Goldwyn, who cast him in a small role in The North Star (1943). He followed it up with a much bigger part in The Purple Heart (1944) and then joined the army. After his release he had to wait until Nicholas Ray cast him in the low-budget RKO classic Sie leben bei Nacht (1948) with Cathy O'Donnell, and then he was recalled by Goldwyn, who signed him to a five-year contract. He then made Cocktail für eine Leiche (1948) for Alfred Hitchcock and followed up for Goldwyn with Betrogene Jugend (1948) with David Niven, Evelyn Keyes and Teresa Wright. Other roles followed, including Roseanna McCoy (1949) with Joan Evans, Unser eigenes Ich (1950) with Ann Blyth and Side Street (1950), again with Cathy O'Donnell. He returned to Hitchcock for the best role of his career, as the socialite tennis champ embroiled in a murder plot by psychotic Robert Walker in Der Fremde im Zug (1951). He then appeared in Fünf Perlen (1952) with Jeanne Crain, Hans Christian Andersen und die Tänzerin (1952) with Danny Kaye, War es die große Liebe? (1953) with Leslie Caron and Small Town Girl (1953) with Jane Powell. He went to Italy to make Sehnsucht (1954) for Luchino Visconti with Alida Valli, one of his best films. He did a Broadway play in 1955, "The Carefree Tree", and then returned to films in Nackte Straßen (1955) with Anthony Quinn and Anne Bancroft and Das Mädchen auf der Samtschaukel (1955) with Joan Collins and Ray Milland. Over the next ten years Granger worked extensively on television and the stage, mainly in stock, and returned to films in Rogue's Gallery (1968) with Dennis Morgan. He then returned to Italy, where he made a series of films, including Herausforderung zum Grand-Prix (1970) with 'Anne Baxter (I)', Der Mann aus El Paso (1973) with Richard Crenna and Arnold (1973) with Stella Stevens. More recent films include Forke des Todes (1981), Death Mask (1992), Imagemaker - Im Zentrum der Macht (1986) and The Next Big Thing (2001). Since the 1950s he has continued to work frequently on American television and, in 1980, returned to Broadway and appeared in Ira Levin's successful play "Deathtrap". In 2007 he published his autobiography, "Include Me Out: My Life from Goldwyn to Broadway" with Robert Calhoun. A longtime resident of New York, Granger has recently appeared in several documentaries discussing Hollywood and, often, specifically Alfred Hitchcock. - IMDb Mini Biography By: alfiehitchie (qv's & corrections by A.
