Percy Kilbride(1888-1964)

Percy Kilbride and actor Ralph Belmont were walking through Kilbride's neighborhood at night when they were struck by a car. Belmont died instantly, while Kilbride died over two months later from head injuries.

On the stage I did all kinds of parts, including eccentric comedians. But the role that brought me out to Hollywood was that of a rural sort of a fellow in "George Washington Slept Here." I repeated the role in the movie and I've been doing the same sort of thing since.
