Richard Cromwell(1910-1960)

Boyishly handsome leading man of the early-to-mid 1930s, most notably in Cecil B. DeMille's "This Day and Age", who'd moved on to second leads by the end of the decade ("Jezebel", "Young Mr. Lincoln"), and dropped out of films altogether by the late 1940s. The first husband of Angela Lansbury, he died young, aged fifty, of cancer.
