His career spanned more than 50 years, including his performance in the 1957 film "Sayonara' starring Marlon Brando. Sayonara won four Academy Awards, including acting honors for co-stars Red Buttons and Miyoshi Umeki.
She became a fashion model, working for fashion houses Givenchy and Christian Dior. She adopted the name, "Capucine" (French for nasturtium). She met Audrey Hepburn while modeling for Givenchy in Paris. The two would remain close friends for the rest of Capucine's life.
On 17 March 1990, Capucine jumped to her death from her eighth-floor apartment in Lausanne, Switzerland, where she had lived for 28 years, having reportedly suffered from illness and depression for some time.

Here are Red Buttons, Capucine, John Wayne, and several adorable elephants in the film Hatari! Music composed by Henry Mancini.
Just digging around for the great comedies of Paula Prentiss and Jim Hutton, I am depressed by the lack of film footage to be found. These are lost films - they're gone -
And they were so great together.
Hard to believe that movies made in my lifetime are all but impossible to find now. It's a tragedy.
The past disappears ever and ever faster. Who will save it? Or perhaps it is already too late.

I don't think most on your list really fit the theme of this thread. They were all, and still are, considered well known (not lesser) actors and some even considered big stars. This thread is supposed to be about those actors known more by face, but not necessarily by name. The ones that even at the time they were acting and active in current film, no one really knew their names-- only their faces.

Bowing out. I wouldn't wish to intrude on your self-declared narrow criteria. I didn't realize that you had ultimate approval of who is a 'lesser star' and who is not. Perhaps you should have posted guidelines to begin with, so such inappropriate posts as mine would never have found their way here to begin with.
Adios, goodbye, saronaya. Sorry I stumbled through the wrong door. - Leaving now - Enjoy your fiefdom.

LOL! Aren't you a live wire (guessing PMS or worse?) and cretin!
With such a short fuse, and such a limited knowledge of the subject, you really don't belong here anyways. Good riddance!
P.S. Anyone posting on this thread, please see post #1; I believe I made it very clear what I am looking for.

Well, okay...if you must take the Goodbye, cruel world route....
But the minute I saw Red Buttons, I thought to myself, "Lesser known?" Not fer nothin', but Red Buttons was very well-known--in his day. Which supports what I suggested on one of those RIP threads: some people who were noted stars years ago get very little press now when they die because writers, publishers, etc. of today simply don't remember them.
You shouldn't take comments personally when they're not meant that way.
