Scene from the movie High Sierra, 1941

A versatile character actor and occasional lead, the sandyhaired, pleasant-looking Kennedy alternated between stage and screen, winning a Tony as the troubled young Biff in Arthur Miller's Death of a Salesman, and earning five Academy Award nominations during his long and generally distinguished screen career. Kennedy, reportedly discovered by James Cagney while acting on stage in Los Angeles, first hit movie screens playing Cagney's artistic kid brother in City for Conquest (1940) ... The late 1940s and 1950s saw him turn out an impressive body of work, including Champion (1949, picking up his first Oscar nomination in support of Kirk Douglas) and The Glass Menagerie (1950)...
— Movie Encyclopedia by Leonard Maltin

The biggest box office success with which Kennedy was associated was Lawrence of Arabia (1962), in which he replaced the ailing Edmund O'Brien in the role of Jackson Bentley (the Lowell Thomas character).
