John Sutton (born Eugene Osmond Stephen Congdon; 22 October 1908 – 10 July 1963) was a British actor with a prolific career in Hollywood of more than 30 years.Script error: No such module "Unsubst".

Personal life

Sutton was born on 22 October 1908 in Rawalpindi, India (now Rawalpindi, Punjab, Pakistan). He was the son of Lt. Colonel Arthur Congdon (1861-1924) of the Royal Munster Fusiliers and his wife Ann Bell Sutton Moxley Congdon. Before moving to Hollywood as an actor, he was a tea planter in Assam, India, and, failing that, he farmed for a while in South Africa.[1] Upon being naturalized as a U.S. citizen while serving in the U.S. Navy in 1943 during the Second World War, he legally changed his name to John Sutton.[2]

Sutton was married at least three times. In 1933, he married wealthy socialite Charlotte Biddle Barrett.[3] In the 1940 federal census, the household included his wife Charlotte and her daughter from a previous marriage. In October 1946, he divorced his high society wife and married Roberta Fidler, former wife of newspaper columnist and radio commentator Jimmie Fidler;[4][5] this rather stormy second marriage ended in divorce in 1955.[6] He married dancer Anita Rodney-Eden in 1957, but he received an annulment in 1960, when it was shown that she was still legally the ninth wife of oft-married (13 marriages to 11 women) Tommy Manville.[7][8] He died suddenly of a heart attack on 10 July 1963.
