Cronyn, Hume (1911–2003), actor and director. A small man with a long face and prominent mouth and teeth, he was born in London, Ontario. After performing in Canada and in stock in Washington, D.C., he took additional training at the
American Academy of Dramatic Arts and elsewhere, then joined the
Barter Theatre as performer and director. Early Broadway appearances were in
Hipper's Holiday (1934),
Boy Meets Girl (1936),
Room Service (1937),
High Tor (1937), and
The Three Sisters (1939). In 1950 Cronyn directed
Hilda Crane, which starred his wife, Jessica
Tandy, and thereafter appeared with her as Michael in the two‐character
The Fourposter (1951), and as the devil Dr. Brightlee in
Madam, Will You Walk (1953). He created the role of Jimmy Luton, the fussy art teacher, in
Big Fish, Little Fish (1961) before spending a few seasons with his wife at the
Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis and playing classical roles. His Polonius in the Richard
Burton Hamlet (1964) won him a
Tony Award. Among Cronyn's many other memorable productions with Tandy were
A Delicate Balance (1966),
Noel Coward in Two Keys (1974),
The Gin Game (1977),
Foxfire (1982), and
The Petition (1986).
