Meredith, Burgess (1908–97), actor and director. The short, somewhat fey performer was born in Cleveland and served a theatrical apprenticeship with the
Civic Repertory Theatre in 1930. Although he remained active in the theatre for half a century, he is best remembered for three early roles: Mio, the young man who seeks death after his father is executed, in
Winterset (1935); Van Van Dorn, who flees civilization for a night, in
High Tor (1937); and Stephen Minch, who is allowed to return to the days of his youth, in
The Star Wagon (1937). He also enjoyed a long career in films, radio, and television. Autobiography:
So Far, So Good, 1997.
