He later played a minor part in "All's Quiet on the Western Front". That is where his carrer took off. Durring his years as an actor oppisite such actors as Cary Grant and Jimmy Stewert, he dated such Hollywood scarlets such as Kathrine Heptbern and Rita Hayworth. He was also a dranking buddy of Howard Hughes. After his eldests sons death in Vietnam in 1966, he went into reclution, moving to London.
