Paul Mantee(1931-2013)
- Actor
Born in San Francisco, Paul Mantee started "pretending" when he was
very young, playing at being people like
Humphrey Bogart,
James Cagney. He toiled anonymously in the Hollywood vineyards for several
years; it was this initial lack of success that worked in his favor
when "an unfamiliar face" was sought for
Robinson Crusoé sur Mars (1964).
Most famous for his role in this 1964 sci-fi adventure, Mantee has in
more recent years begun writing magazine articles and novels.
