Biography

Walter Catlett built a career playing excitable, officious blowhards, and few did it better. Born in San Francisco, he began in vaudeville—briefly venturing into opera—before entering films in the mid-1920s. Among his most memorable roles were the stage manager overwhelmed by James Cagney in Yankee Doodle Dandy (1942) and the local constable who imprisons the entire cast, only to end up jailed himself, in the classic screwball comedy Bringing Up Baby (1938). He retired after Beau James (1957) and passed away from a stroke in 1960.
