Early years edit

Hinds was born in Brooklyn, New York, the son of Joseph E. Hinds and Mary A. Beetham Hinds.[1] He was the great-grandson of poet Robert Southey.[citation needed] His father was the president of the United States Playing Card Company,[2]

He was a graduate of Phillips Andover Academy, Harvard Law School, and New York University Law School[1] and worked for more than 32 years as a lawyer before becoming a professional actor. After he lost most of his money in the financial crisis of 1929, Hinds retired as a lawyer[3] and joined the Pasadena Community Playhouse.[2] He started acting in Broadway shows at age 54.

Career edit

Hinds is perhaps best remembered for playing Peter Bailey, the kindly father of James Stewart and founder of the Bailey Building and Loan, in It's a Wonderful Life (1946) and for his part as Paul Sycamore in You Can't Take It with You (1938), both films directed by Frank Capra. Hinds was also known for his roles in the Abbott & Costello films such as Buck Privates (1941), Ride 'Em Cowboy (1942) and Pardon My Sarong (1942). He also portrayed Lew Ayres' father in the Dr. Kildare film series during the early 1940s. Hinds mostly played supporting roles, often kind and dignified authority figures; often lawyers, doctors, mayors, judges or the father of the main figure.

Hinds' first film was The Amateur Gentleman (1926);[2] his second film was If I Had A Million (1932). His earlier career was reflected in the role of Judge Thatcher, tortured by the mad Dr. Richard Vollin (Bela Lugosi) in The Raven (1935).

Hinds acted in a total of about 220 films. His last film was The Bribe, released in 1949, after his death.

Death edit

Hinds died of pneumonia in Pasadena, California, on October 13, 1948, at age 73.[4] He was married to Dorothy Cruickshack. They had two children.
