Guy Kibbee(1882-1956)
- Actor
- Soundtrack
Beginning his show business career at age 13 as an entertainer on
Mississippi riverboats, Guy Kibbee graduated to the legitimate stage
and spent many years in the theater. In the 1930s he was signed by
Warner Brothers, and became part of what was known as "the Warner
Brothers Stock Company", a cadre of seasoned character actors and
actresses who enlivened many a Warners musical or gangster film. Kibbee
specialized in playing jovial, but not particularly bright, businessmen
and government officials. He was memorable as the stuffy lawyer with a
secret weakness for showgirls in
Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933).
