- Allyn Joslyn, the son of a Pennsylvania mining engineer, made his stage debut at 17. He was soon appearing regularly in Broadway productions, and headed for Hollywood in 1936, making his debut in La ville gronde ! (1937). His nervous, at times dyspeptic demeanor and somewhat aristocratic looks fit in with the pompous, wealthy snobs he specialized in playing. Joslyn was also an extremely busy radio actor, performing on over 3,000 shows.- IMDb mini biography by: frankfob2@yahoo.com

- Created the role of Mortimer Brewster in the original Broadway cast of "Arsenic and Old Lace". Cary Grant, who took over the part for the movie version, always insisted that Joslyn had been better in the part than he himself was.
