'''Raymond Hart Massey''' (August 30, 1896 – July 29, 1983) was a Canadian actor known for his commanding stage-trained voice. For [[Abraham Lincoln|his lead role]] in ''[[Abe Lincoln in Illinois (film)|Abe Lincoln in Illinois]]'' (1940), Massey was nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Actor]]. He reprised his role as Lincoln on television and in ''[[How the West Was Won (film)|How the West Was Won]]'' (1962). Among his other well-known roles were Dr. Gillespie in the [[National Broadcasting Company|NBC]] television series ''[[Dr. Kildare (TV series)|Dr. Kildare]]'' (1961–1966), [[John Brown (abolitionist)|John Brown]] in ''[[Santa Fe Trail]]'' (1940), ''[[Seven Angry Men]]'' (1955), Abraham Farlan in ''[[A Matter of Life and Death (film)|A Matter of Life and Death]]'' (1946), and Jonathan Brewster in ''[[Arsenic and Old Lace (film)|Arsenic and Old Lace]]'' (1944).<ref>{{cite web |url=https://classicmovietreasures.com/raymond-massey/ |title=Raymond Massey - Classic Movies |website=classicmovietreasures.com |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200806145153/https://classicmovietreasures.com/raymond-massey/ |archive-date=2020-08-06}}</ref>

==Early life==
Massey was born in [[Toronto]], Ontario, the son of Anna Vincent, who was American-born, and her husband Chester Daniel Massey, the wealthy co-owner of the [[Massey-Harris]] tractor company. He was the grandson of businessman [[Hart Massey]] and great-grandson of company founder [[Daniel Massey (manufacturer)|Daniel Massey]].<ref>[http://www.jarvismansiondistrict.com/MasseyHouse.htm Cawthra Square House<!-- Bot generated title -->] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080906142902/http://www.jarvismansiondistrict.com/MasseyHouse.htm |date=2008-09-06 }}</ref> His branch of the [[Massey family]] immigrated to Canada from [[New England]] a few years before the [[War of 1812]], their ancestors having migrated from England to the [[Massachusetts Bay Colony|Massachusetts colony]] in the 1630s.

Massey attended secondary school at [[Upper Canada College]] in Toronto for two years before transferring to [[Appleby College]] in [[Oakville, Ontario]].<ref>[http://www.northernstars.ca/actorsmno/masseybio.html northernstars.ca Profile of Raymond Massey] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060209192217/http://www.northernstars.ca/actorsmno/masseybio.html |date=2006-02-09 }}</ref> He also took several courses at the [[University of Toronto]], where he was an active member of the [[Kappa Alpha Society]].{{Citation needed |date=July 2022}}

==Military service==
===First World War===
Massey joined the [[Canadian Army]] at the outbreak of [[World War I]], and served on the [[Western Front (World War I)|Western Front]] in the [[Royal Regiment of Canadian Artillery]]. Lieutenant Massey returned to Canada after being wounded at [[Zillebeke]] in [[Belgium]] during the [[Battle of Mont Sorrel]] in 1916 and was engaged as an army instructor for American officers at [[Yale University]].<ref name=NYT>{{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1983/07/31/obituaries/raymond-massey-famous-for-his-portrayal-of-lincoln.html |title=Raymond Massey, Famous For His Portrayal Of Lincoln |date=July 31, 1983 |newspaper=[[The New York Times]] |agency=[[Associated Press]]}}</ref><ref name=WP>{{cite news |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1983/07/31/raymond-massey-noted-for-lincoln-roles/987519cb-4ca0-4efd-8b39-438a54343ae1/ |title=Raymond Massey, Noted For Lincoln Roles |date=July 31, 1983 |newspaper=[[The Washington Post]]}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.canadiangreatwarproject.com/searches/soldierDetail.asp?ID=66693 |title=Lieutenant Raymond Hart Massey |publisher=Canadian Great War Project}}</ref> In 1918, he was recalled to active service and joined the [[Canadian Siberian Expeditionary Force]] that went to [[Siberia]] during the [[Allied intervention in the Russian Civil War]]. On the orders of his commanding general, he organized a [[minstrel show]] troupe with himself as end man in [[blackface]] to bolster morale of allied troops on occupation duty in [[Vladivostok]].<ref>{{cite news |url=https://www.upi.com/Archives/1983/07/30/Raymond-Massey-the-Canadian-born-actor-who-was-Abraham-Lincoln/8815428385600/ |title=Raymond Massey, the Canadian-born actor who was Abraham Lincoln... |publisher=[[United Press International]] |date=July 30, 1983}}</ref>

After returning home in 1919, he graduated from [[Balliol College, Oxford]]. He later went to work in the family business, selling farm implements, but he was drawn to the theater. He persuaded his reluctant family to allow him to pursue this career.<ref name=NYT/>

===Second World War===
In 1942, during [[World War II]], Massey rejoined the Canadian Army and served as a [[Major (rank)|major]] in the [[adjutant general]]'s branch.<ref name=WP/> After being wounded, he was invalided from the Canadian Army in 1943. He became an American citizen in 1944.<ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.canadiangreatwarproject.com/searches/soldierDetail.asp?ID=66693 |title=Lieutenant Raymond Hart Massey |website=www.canadiangreatwarproject.com |access-date=May 30, 2018}}</ref>

==Acting career==
He first appeared on the London stage in 1922 in [[Eugene O'Neill]]'s ''[[In the Zone (play)|In the Zone]]''.<ref name=NYT/><ref name=WP/> According to his obituary in ''[[The New York Times]]'', he appeared in "several dozen plays and directed numerous others" in England over the next decade.<ref name=NYT/> ''[[The Washington Post]]'' credited him with performances in over 80 plays, including ''Pygmalion'' with [[Gertrude Lawrence]]; ''Ethan Frome'' with [[Ruth Gordon]]; and the [[George Bernard Shaw]] works ''[[The Doctor's Dilemma (play)|The Doctor's Dilemma]]'' and ''[[Candida (play)|Candida]]'' with [[Katharine Cornell]].<ref name=WP/> In 1929, he directed the London premiere of ''[[The Silver Tassie (play)|The Silver Tassie]]''. He received poor reviews in his debut on [[Broadway theatre|Broadway]] in an unorthodox 1931 production of ''[[Hamlet]]''.<ref name=NYT/>

The first movie he was in was ''[[High Treason (1929 British film)|High Treason]]'' (1928). In 1931, he played [[Sherlock Holmes]] in ''[[The Speckled Band (1931 film)|The Speckled Band]]'', the first [[sound film]] version of the story. In 1934, he played the villain in ''[[The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934 film)|The Scarlet Pimpernel]]'', and in 1936, he starred in ''[[Things to Come]]'', a film adaptation by H.G. Wells of his own speculative novel ''[[The Shape of Things to Come]]'' (1933). In 1944, Massey played the district attorney in [[Fritz Lang]]'s classic film noir ''[[The Woman in the Window (1944 film)|The Woman in the Window]]'', which starred [[Edward G. Robinson]] and [[Joan Bennett]]. He portrayed the [[American Revolutionary War]] character Abraham Farlan, who hated the British for making him a casualty of that war, in the 1946 film ''[[A Matter of Life and Death (film)|A Matter of Life and Death]]'' (titled ''Stairway to Heaven'' in the U.S.).

[[File:Massey-Abe-Lincoln-in-Illinois-1938.jpg|thumb|left|upright|Raymond Massey in the Broadway production of ''[[Abe Lincoln in Illinois (play)|Abe Lincoln in Illinois]]'' (1938)]]
Despite being Canadian, Massey became famous for playing archetypal American historical figures. He played abolitionist/insurrectionist [[John Brown (abolitionist)|John Brown]] in two films: ''[[Santa Fe Trail (film)|Santa Fe Trail]]'' (1940) and again in the low-budget ''[[Seven Angry Men]]'' (1955). The character of Brown is a wild-eyed lunatic in ''Santa Fe Trail'', whereas he is a well-intentioned but misguided character in the more sympathetic ''Seven Angry Men''. Massey scored a great triumph on Broadway in [[Robert E. Sherwood]]'s [[Pulitzer Prize for Drama|Pulitzer Prize]]-winning play ''[[Abe Lincoln in Illinois (play)|Abe Lincoln in Illinois]]'' despite reservations about Lincoln's being portrayed by a Canadian. He repeated his role in the [[Abe Lincoln in Illinois (film)|1940 film version]], for which he was nominated for the [[Academy Award for Best Actor]]. Massey again portrayed Lincoln in ''The Day Lincoln Was Shot'' on ''[[Ford Star Jubilee]]'' (1956), a silent appearance in ''[[How the West Was Won (film)|How the West Was Won]]'' (1962), and two TV adaptations of ''Abe Lincoln in Illinois'' broadcast in 1950 and 1951. He once complained jokingly that he was "the only actor ever typecast as a president."<ref name="Foster2003">{{cite book |last=Foster |first=Charles |title=Once Upon a Time in Paradise: Canadians in the Golden Age of Hollywood |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=cb49Y-xN5TcC&pg=PA226 |year=2003 |publisher=Dundurn |isbn=978-1-55002-997-0 |page=226}}</ref> His preparation for the role was so detailed and obsessive that one person commented that Massey would not be satisfied with his Lincoln impersonation until someone assassinated him.<ref name="Fisher2011">{{cite book |last=Fisher |first=James |title=Historical Dictionary of Contemporary American Theater: 1930–2010 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=m6O5-spILIUC&pg=PA20 |year=2011| publisher=Scarecrow Press |isbn=978-0-8108-7950-8 |page=20}}</ref> On stage in a dramatic reading of [[Stephen Vincent Benét]]'s ''[[John Brown's Body (poem)|John Brown's Body]]'' (1953), Massey, in addition to narrating along with [[Tyrone Power]] and [[Judith Anderson]], took on the roles of both John Brown and Lincoln.

Massey played a Canadian on-screen only once, in ''[[49th Parallel (film)|49th Parallel]]'' (1941).

During World War II, he teamed up with Katharine Cornell and other leading actors in a revival of Shaw's ''Candida'' to benefit the Army Emergency Fund and the Navy Relief Society.<ref>Tad Mosel, ''Leading Lady: The Word and Theatre of Katharine Cornell'', Little, Brown & Co., 1978</ref>
[[File:Beverly Garland Richard Chamberlain Raymond Massey Dr. Kildare 1961.JPG|right|thumb|[[Beverly Garland]], [[Richard Chamberlain]] and Raymond Massey in the first episode of ''[[Dr. Kildare (TV series)|Dr. Kildare]]'' (1961)]]
Massey portrayed Jonathan Brewster in the film version of ''[[Arsenic and Old Lace (film)|Arsenic and Old Lace]]''. The character had been created by [[Boris Karloff]] for the stage version, and a running gag in the play and the film was the character's resemblance to Karloff. Even though the film was released in 1944, it was shot in 1941, at which time Karloff still was contracted to the Broadway play and could not be released for the filming (unlike his costars [[Josephine Hull]], [[Jean Adair]] and [[John Alexander (actor)|John Alexander]]). Massey and Karloff had appeared together earlier in [[James Whale]]'s suspense film ''[[The Old Dark House (1932 film)|The Old Dark House]]'' (1932).

After Massey became an American citizen, he continued to work in Hollywood. Memorable film roles included the husband of [[Joan Crawford]] during her Oscar-nominated role in ''[[Possessed (1947 film)|Possessed]]'' (1947) and the doomed publishing tycoon Gail Wynand in ''[[The Fountainhead (film)|The Fountainhead]]'' (1949) with [[Patricia Neal]] and [[Gary Cooper]]. In 1952 his stage play ''[[Hanging Judge (play)|Hanging Judge]]'' appeared in the [[West End theatre|West End]], directed by [[Michael Powell]].<ref>Wearing, J.P. ''The London Stage 1950–1959: A Calendar of Productions, Performers, and Personnel''.  Rowman & Littlefield, 2014. p.186</ref> In 1955 he starred in ''[[East of Eden (film)|East of Eden]]'' as Adam Trask, father of Cal, played by [[James Dean]], and Aron, played by [[Richard Davalos]].

Massey became well known on television in the 1950s and 1960s. He was cast in 1960 as Sir Oliver Garnett in the episode "Trunk Full of Dreams" of the NBC series ''[[Riverboat (TV series)|Riverboat]]''.

Massey is remembered as Dr. Gillespie in the popular 1961–1966 NBC series ''[[Dr. Kildare (TV series)|Dr. Kildare]]'', with [[Richard Chamberlain]] in the title role. Massey and his son [[Daniel Massey (actor)|Daniel]] were cast as father and son in ''The Queen's Guards'' (1961).

==Personal life==
[[File:Richard Chamberlain Daniela Bianchi Raymond Massey Dr Kildare 1964.JPG|right|thumb|Richard Chamberlain, [[Daniela Bianchi]] and Massey in ''Dr. Kildare'' (1964)]]
Massey was married three times.
* Margery Fremantle from 1921 to 1929 (divorce); they had one child, architect [[Geoffrey Massey]].
* [[Adrianne Allen]] from 1929 to 1939 (divorce); Allen was a stage actress in London and on Broadway. They had two children who followed them into acting: [[Anna Massey]] and [[Daniel Massey (actor)|Daniel Massey]].
* Dorothy Whitney from 1939 until her death in 1982.

His high-profile estrangement and divorce from Adrianne Allen was the inspiration for Ruth Gordon and Garson Kanin's script for the film ''[[Adam's Rib]]'' (1949), starring [[Katharine Hepburn]] and [[Spencer Tracy]], and indeed Massey married the lawyer who represented him in court, Dorothy Whitney, while his then former wife, Allen, married the opposing lawyer, William Dwight Whitney.<ref name="Filmsite.org">{{cite web |url=http://www.filmsite.org/adam.html| title=Adam's Rib |website=American Movie Classics |access-date=November 22, 2011 |last=Dirks |first=Tim}}</ref><ref>{{cite book |last=Eagan |first=Daniel |title=America's Film Legacy: The Authoritative Guide to the Landmark Movies in The National Film Registry |year=2010 |publisher=the Continuum International Publishing Group |location=London |isbn=978-0826429773 |url-access=registration |url=https://archive.org/details/americasfilmlega0000eaga }}</ref>

Massey's older brother, [[Vincent Massey]], was the first Canadian-born [[governor general of Canada]]. Massey also dabbled in politics, appearing in a 1964 television advertisement in support of the [[Conservative (politics)|conservative]] [[Republican Party (United States)|Republican]] presidential nominee [[Barry Goldwater]]. Massey denounced U.S. President [[Lyndon B. Johnson]] for a "no-win" strategy in the [[Vietnam War]], suggesting that Goldwater would pursue an aggressive strategy and win the war quickly.<ref>[http://www.livingroomcandidate.org/commercials/1964/raymond-massey Massey's ad for Goldwater]</ref>

==Death==
Massey died of pneumonia in Los Angeles, California on July 29, 1983, a month before he would have turned 87.<ref name=NYT/> His death came on the same day as that of [[David Niven]], with whom he had co-starred in ''[[The Prisoner of Zenda (1937 film)|The Prisoner of Zenda]]'' and ''[[A Matter of Life and Death (film)|A Matter of Life and Death]]''. Massey is buried in [[New Haven, Connecticut]]'s Beaverdale Memorial Park.{{Citation needed |date=July 2022}}
