His performance in When My Baby Smiles at Me in 1948 garnered him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor. His right eye was surgically removed at the age of three. He served in the United States Army during World War II, then returned to more musicals. He also gave a memorable turn opposite Gena Rowlands in director John Cassavetes' A Woman Under the Influence. The people at MGM realized their mistake immediately, however, and began casting him in a series of musical films. Treasury.
