Kennedy, [John] Arthur (1914–90), actor. A native of Worcester, Massachusetts, the light‐haired, slightly boyish‐looking leading man, who always conveyed an impression of intense dedication, made his debut in Maurice Evans's 1937 revival of King Richard II. He won major recognition as the surviving son Chris Keller in All My Sons (1947), followed by such memorable performances as the troubled son Biff in Death of a Salesman (1949); John Proctor, who is caught up in the Salem witch hunts, in The Crucible (1953); judge advocate Col. William Edwards in Time Limit! (1956); the hot‐tempered father Patrick Flannigan in The Loud Red Patrick (1956); the successful brother Walter Franz in The Price (1968); and the menacing Man in Veronica's Room (1973).
