Jimmy Dunn
James Howard Dunn, billed as Jimmy Dunn in his early career, was an American actor and vaudeville performer. Although he initially worked in his father's New York stockbroker firm, he was more interested in theater. He landed jobs as an extra in Paramount Pictures short films in Long Island and performed with several stock theater companies. His performance as the male lead in the 1929 Broadway musical Sweet Adeline attracted the attention of film studio executives, leading to a Hollywood contract with Fox Film in 1931.
