Couple Profile

Webb, Clifton [n� Webb Parmalee Hollenbeck] (1893–1966), actor, dancer, and singer. The slim, dapper, somewhat epicene performer was born in Indianapolis and began acting professionally when still a young boy, goaded on by Mrs. Hollenbeck, who was to become one of Broadway`s most famous stage mothers. He left the theatre to study painting and then to work under Victor Maurel to prepare for an opera career, which was short lived. By 1911 Webb was a song and dance man in The Purple Road. Later he played in, among others, Dancing Around (1914), See America First (1916), Love o` Mike (1917), Listen Lester (1918), and As You Were (1920). After a stint in London, Webb returned to create the role of the sporting youngblood Victor Staunton in Meet the Wife (1923). He played a major supporting role in the musical Sunny (1925) but reached stardom with the revue The Little Show (1929) in which he sang “I Guess I`ll Have to Change My Plan.” He shone in the subsequent revues Three`s a Crowd (1930), Flying Colors (1932), and As Thousands Cheer (1933), in which he introduced “Easter Parade.” His last musical appearance was in You Never Know (1938). Two Noel Coward comedies marked his farewell to the stage. In both instances Webb played the parts Coward had written for himself in London: the astral bigamist Charles Condomine in Blithe Spirit (1941) and the egomaniacal actor Garry Essendine in Present Laughter (1946). In his later years he was popular in films.
