Franciosa&#8217;s film career  began late &#8212; but auspiciously &#8212; in 1957. The 32-year-old actor (born in New York City on Oct. 28, 1925) had key roles in Robert Wise&#8217;s This Could Be the Night, George Cukor&#8217;s Wild Is the Wind, Elia Kazan&#8217;s A Face in the Crowd, and  Fred Zinnemann&#8217;s A Hatful of Rain, in which he recreated his well-regarded Broadway role. 
For his somewhat mechanical performance &#8212; stage mannerisms were much in evidence &#8212; Franciosa received his one and only  best actor Academy Award nomination.
Yet, major stardom proved elusive. Although he was   [...]]]></description>
