RAY MILLAND
(1905-1986)

Actor británico, de nombre real Reginal Alfred Tuscott Jones, nacido el 3 de enero de 1905 en Neath, Glamorgan (Gales).

Versátil actor, que tanto intervenía en comedias sofisticadas, en dramas, películas de aventuras, en thrillers o en films de terror y ciencia-ficción, Ray Milland comenzó a destacar en papeles románticos, apareciendo en títulos como "Tres diablillos" (1936) de Henry Koster , "Alondra del cielo" (1941) de Mark Sandrich, las espléndidas "Una chica afortunada" (1937) dirigida por Mitchell Leisen y co-protagonizada por Jean Arthur y "El mayor y la menor" (1942) del gran Billy Wilder.

Después de obras recomendables como "Beau Geste" (1939), "Piratas del mar Caribe" (1942), "Los intrusos" (1944) o "La bribona" (1945), sus grandes habilidades como intérprete serían recompensadas en un nuevo encuentro con Wilder cuando protagonizó a un alcohólico irredento en la magistral "Días sin huella" (1945), con una ejemplar actuación que le valió para lograr el ansiado Oscar de la Academia.

Paradójicamente, este triunfo supuso el declive de Milland, que a pesar de protagonizar buenos films, "El reloj asesino" (1948), "It happens every spring" (1949), "Crimen perfecto" (1954) del maestro Hitchcock, "Al borde del río" (1957), "El hombre con rayos X en los ojos" (1963) dirigida por el gran gurú de la serie B, Roger Corman con el que había coincidido un año antes con una adaptación de Edgar Allan Poe, "La obsesión" (1962) o "Love story" (1970).

También probó fortuna en el campo de la dirección, realizando cinco films: "Un hombre solo" (1955), "Lisbon" (1956), "Ladrón de manos de seda" (1958), "Pánico infinito" (1962) y "Hostile Witness" (1968). Las películas, interpretadas por él mismo, no obtuvieron demasiada repercusión comercial.

Ray Milland falleció a causa de un cáncer de pulmón el 10 de marzo de 1986 en Torrance, California (Estados Unidos). Tenía 79 años.
