- ElternCharles Rexford BellamyLilla Louise Smith
- Frequently played the "other man" in romances and comedies, and he was often fleeced by leading men like Cary Grant to get to the female lead.
- Distinctive authoritative voice
- He was a founding member of the Screen Actors Guild in 1933.
- He was regularly seen socially with a select circle of friends known as the Irish Mafia.
- Was one of the most popular and durable actors in Hollywood, playing everything from handsome heroes in his youth to nefarious old men later in his career.
- In Howard Hawks' Sein Mädchen für besondere Fälle (1940), Bellamy's character, as happened in several movies, loses his girl to Cary Grant. At one point in the movie, as the conniving newspaper editor, Grant is giving a henchman directions to help him identify Bellamy's character, and Grant says, "He looks like Ralph Bellamy.".
- As a boy, he delivered newspapers and groceries, and worked as a soda jerk at a drugstore.
- One day in Hollywood, I read a script in which the character was described as "charming but dull -- a typical Ralph Bellamy type". I promptly headed for New York to find a part with guts.
- I always tell the producers, if I can't get the girl at the end of the picture, at least give me more money.
- I've been very lucky; like most actors and actresses, there have been times when I've gone hungry. My philosophy is just take it a day at a time. As far as I'm concerned, I'll never retire.
- I was a bellhop, a show barker, a ditch digger and a carpenter. The memory of those days, and their value, is a cherished possession.
