Richard Widmark was born in Sunrise, Minnesota, grew up in Princeton, and also lived for a time in Henry, Illinois. His father was Carl Henry Widmark (1892-1968), son of Swedish immigrants, his mother Mae Ethel Barr Nelson (1897-1956)

Widmark's first movie appearance was in the 1947 film noir Kiss of Death, as the giggling, sociopathic villain Tommy Udo.
In his most notorious scene, Udo pushed a woman in a wheelchair (played by Mildred Dunnock) down a flight of stairs to her death.
Widmark was almost not cast.
He said, 'The director, Henry Hathaway, didn't want me. I have a high forehead; he thought I looked too intellectual.' Hathaway was overruled by studio boss Darryl F. Zanuck. 'Hathaway gave me kind of a bad time,' recalled Widmark.
Kiss of Death was a commercial and critical success: Widmark won the Golden Globe Award for New Star of the Year - Actor, and was nominated for the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance.
Widmark appears in a number of successful films, including The Tunnel of Love (1959) with Doris Day, the Westerns Warlock (also 1959) with Henry Fonda, as Jim Bowie in John Wayne's The Alamo (1960), the courtroom drama Judgment at Nuremberg (1961), and reuniting with Sidney Poitier in the adventure The Long Ships (1964).
Retiring in 2001, Widmark died after a long illness on March 24, 2008, at his home in Roxbury, Connecticut, at the age of 93.
