Early life

Cummings was born in Joplin, Missouri, a son of Dr. Charles Clarence Cummings and the former Ruth Annabelle

Kraft.[6]

His father was a surgeon, who was part of the original medical staff of St. John's Hospital in Joplin. He was

the founder of the Jasper County Tuberculosis Hospital in Webb City, Missouri.[7][8]

Cummings's mother was an

ordained minister of the Science of Mind.

While attending Joplin High School, Cummings was taught to fly by his godfather, Orville Wright, the aviation

pioneer. His first solo was on 3 March 1927.[9]

During high school, Cummings gave Joplin residents rides in his

aircraft for $5 per person. When the government began licensing flight instructors, Cummings was issued flight

instructor certificate No. 1, making him the first official flight instructor in the United States.

Cummings studied briefly at Drury College in Springfield, Missouri, but his love of flying caused him to transfer to

the Carnegie Institute of Technology in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He studied aeronautical engineering for a year

before he dropped out because of financial reasons, his family having lost heavily in the 1929 stock market crash.

Since the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York City paid its male actors $14 a week, Cummings

decided to study there.

Acting career

Cummings studied drama for two years before appearing on Broadway in 1931. As British actors were heavily in

demand, Cummings traveled to England and learned to mimic an upper-class English accent. He had a brief career

on Broadway under the name Blade Stanhope Conway, posing as an Englishman.

In 1933, Cummings met and married his second wife, the actress Vivian Janis. They were both appearing in the

Ziegfeld Follies, with Cummings as the male lead opposite comedian Fanny Brice.[10]

In 1934, he moved to

Hollywood, where he acted at first under the name Bruce Hutchens, having assumed the persona of a wealthy

Texan. He made his film debut the following year in The Virginia Judge.

Cummings then began to use his own name, acting throughout the 1930s as a contract player in a number ofsupporting roles.

Achieving stardom

He achieved stardom in 1939 in Three Smart Girls Grow Up, opposite

Deanna Durbin. His many film comedies include: The Devil and Miss

Jones (1941) with Jean Arthur, and The Bride Wore Boots (1946) with

Barbara Stanwyck andMoon Over Miami (1941).

Cummings gave memorable performances in three notable dramas. In

Kings Row (1942), he played the lead role Parrish Mitchell alongside

friend Ronald Reagan, Claude Rains, Ann Sheridan and an all-star cast.

In spite of its mixed critical reaction, the film was nominated for three

Academy Awards, including one for Best Picture.

Cummings also starred in the spy thriller Saboteur (1942) with

Priscilla Lane and Norman Lloyd. He played Barry Kane, an Aircraft

worker wrongfully accused of murder, trying to clear his name.

Cummings appeared in another Hitchcock film: Dial M for Murder

(1954), in which he played Mark Halliday with Grace Kelly and Ray

Milland. The film was a box-office smash. Cummings also starred in

You Came Along (1945), which featured a screenplay by Ayn Rand. The Army Air Forces pilot Cummings played

("Bob Collins") died off camera, but was resurrected ten years later for his television show.

Cummings was chosen by producer John Wayne as his co-star to play airline pilot Captain Sullivan in The High and

the Mighty, partly due to Cummings's flying experience. However, director William A. Wellman overruled Wayne

and hired Robert Stack for the part.[11]

Cummings made his mark in the CBS Radio network's dramatic serial entitled Those We Love, which ran from 1938to 1945. Cummings played the role of David Adair, opposite Richard Cromwell, Francis X. Bushman, and Nan

Grey. He was also one of the four stars featured in the short-run radio version of Four Star Playhouse.

World War II

In November 1942, Cummings joined the United States Army Air Corps.[12]

During World War II, he served as a

flight instructor. After the war, Cummings served as a pilot in the United States Air Force Reserve, where he

achieved the rank of Captain.[13]

For a time he was the owner of a Porterfield 35-70 aircraft, named "Spinach",[14]

which is still airworthy in the USA.[15]

Television career

Cummings began a long career on television in 1952, starring in the comedy My Hero. He received the Primetime

Emmy Award for Outstanding Lead Actor for his portrayal of "Juror Number Eight," in the first televised

performance of Twelve Angry Men, a live production that aired in 1954 (Henry Fonda played the same role in the

feature film adaptation). Cummings was one of the anchors on ABC's live broadcast of the opening day of

Disneyland on July 17, 1955.

From 1955 through 1959, Cummings starred on a successful NBC sitcom, The Bob Cummings Show (list of

episodes) (known as Love That Bob in reruns), in which he played Bob Collins, an exWorld War II pilot who

became a successful professional photographer. As a bachelor in 1950s Los Angeles, the character Bob Collins

considered himself to be quite the ladies' man. This sitcom was noted for some very risque humor for its time. A

popular feature of the program was Cummings's portrayal of his elderly grandfather. His co-stars were Rosemary

DeCamp, as his sister, Margaret MacDonald, Dwayne Hickman, as his nephew, Chuck MacDonald and Ann B.

Davis, in her first television success, as his assistant Charmaine "Schultzy" Schultz. Cummings also was a guest on

the NBC interview programHere's Hollywood.
