Rod Steiger

American actor (1925–2002)

Rodney Stephen Steiger (STY-gər; April 14, 1925 – July 9, 2002) was an American actor, noted for his portrayal of offbeat, often volatile and crazed characters. Ranked as "one of Hollywood's most charismatic and dynamic stars", he is closely associated with the art of method acting, embodying the characters he played, which at times led to clashes with directors and co-stars. He starred as Marlon Brando's mobster brother Charley in On the Waterfront (1954), the title character Sol Nazerman in The Pawnbroker (1964) which won him the Silver Bear for Best Actor, and as police chief Bill Gillespie opposite Sidney Poitier in the film In the Heat of the Night (1967) which won him the Academy Award for Best Actor.

Steiger was born in Westhampton, New York, the son of a vaudevillian. He had a difficult childhood, running away from home to escape an alcoholic mother at the age of 16. After serving in the South Pacific during World War II, he began his acting career with television roles in 1947, and went on to garner critical acclaim f

Since my films have been circulated, several people in odd parts of Australia have bobbed up to claim me as a relation … I don’t know very much about them because my family quarreled with them some time ago.”

Passing for white was imperative. Biracial and mixed-race actors had no place in the film industry at the time when interracial marriage was banned in 30 states. The Motion Picture Production Code (the Hays Code) adopted by the industry cracked down on any portrayal of miscegenation, defined as “sex relationships between the white and black races.” Films with such depictions were not given a seal of approval to be released.

The biography that Oberon created for herself said that she was born in faraway Tasmania, a white colony of the British Empire, and mov
