Robert Stack

Robert Stack (January 13, 1919 – May 14, 2003) was an American actor, television host, and competitive skeet shooter best known for his portrayal of Treasury agent Eliot Ness in the crime drama series The Untouchables (1959–1963).^[1] His performance in the role, which depicted the real-life enforcement of Prohibition-era laws against organized crime, earned him the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Series (Lead or Single Performance) in 1960.^[2] Stack appeared in over 40 feature films, including a supporting role in Written on the Wind (1956) that garnered him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor in a Supporting Role.^[3] A champion skeet shooter inducted into the National Skeet Shooting Hall of Fame in 1971, Stack's marksmanship expertise led to his commissioning as a lieutenant in the U.S. Navy during World War II, where he instructed aerial gunnery for three and a half years.^[4]^[5] Following his military service, he transitioned to acting, gaining prominence in films like The High and the Mighty (1954) alongside John Wayne.^[6] In later years, Stack hosted the anthology series Unsolved Mysteries (1987–2002), narrating real-life cases of crimes and paranormal events with his distinctive baritone voice.^[7] His career spanned decades, marked by a commanding screen presence that defined tough-guy archetypes in both cinema and television.^[8]

Early Life

Family Background and Childhood

Robert Stack was born Charles Langford Modini Stack on January 13, 1919, in Los Angeles, California, the younger of two sons to James Langford Stack Sr. (1860–1928), owner of a prosperous advertising agency, and Mary Elizabeth Modini Wood (1891–1975).^[9] ^[10] His father, overriding the mother's choice, promptly changed the infant's first name to Robert.^[11] The family represented a fifth-generation Californian lineage, with Stack's forebears among the state's early settlers.^[12] Stack's parents divorced when he was one year old in 1920, leaving him raised primarily by his mother while his older brother, James Langford Stack Jr., stayed in California with their father.^[1] ^[13] At age three, Stack relocated with his mother to Europe, initially to Paris, France, before moving to Rome and the nearby town of Adria in Italy.^[14] ^[12] This expatriate period, extending until he was about six years old circa 1925, immersed him in continental culture.^[6] In Italy, Stack attended local schools, achieving fluency in Italian and French during these formative years, though he acquired English proficiency only upon returning to Los Angeles.^[15] ^[9] His parents reconciled and remarried in 1928, coinciding with his father's death that year.^[9]

Education and Early Influences

Stack briefly attended the University of Southern California (USC) in 1937, where he distinguished himself on the polo team and engaged in other athletics.^[16]^[12] During his second year at USC, he took drama classes and began pursuing acting seriously.^[8]^[12] He ultimately abandoned formal higher education to focus on his emerging career in film.^[16] Prior to university, Stack's early years included time living in Paris and Rome with his mother, an aspiring opera singer, which resulted in his fluency in French and Italian before he returned to the United States at age seven and learned English.^[16] This multilingual upbringing provided early exposure to European culture and performing arts environments.^[16] His athletic pursuits during high school and at USC, including membership on the All-American Skeet Rifle Team at age 16—where he set two world records and became the National Skeet Champion—highlighted a competitive discipline that paralleled the physical demands of on-screen roles.^[12]^[16] Stack also competed in speedboat racing, winning championships in America for three years and international outboard motor events with his brother.^[16] These experiences influenced his entry into acting; after studying acting and singing for six months, he was spotted by a Universal Studios talent scout during an amateur stage production or talent show, leading to a contract and his debut in First Love (1939).^[12]^[8]^[16] An encounter with producer Joe Pasternak and observation of Deanna Durbin further inspired his professional ambitions.^[16]

Military Service

World War II Contributions

Stack enlisted in the United States Naval Reserve in 1942 following the American entry into World War II, leveraging his pre-war expertise as a national skeet shooting champion to qualify for specialized roles in naval aviation training.^[5]^[17] Assigned as an aerial gunnery officer and instructor, he trained Navy pilots and aircrew in air-to-air and anti-aircraft gunnery techniques over the course of three and a half years, emphasizing precision marksmanship derived from his competitive shooting background.^[5]^[17] In 1944, Stack served aboard the Essex-class aircraft carrier USS Hancock (CV-19) in the Pacific Theater, contributing to carrier operations amid intense naval engagements against Japanese forces.^[5]^[17] The following year, he transferred to the escort carrier USS Sitkoh Bay (CVE-86), supporting amphibious assaults and air cover missions as Allied forces advanced toward Japan's home islands.^[5]^[17] His service on these vessels exposed him to combat conditions, though his primary duties remained instructional and operational gunnery oversight rather than direct combat piloting.^[17] Stack rose to the rank of lieutenant during his tenure and received several commendations recognizing his marksmanship proficiency, including the Asiatic-Pacific Campaign Medal, World War II Victory Medal, American Campaign Medal, Expert Pistol Ribbon, and Expert Rifle Ribbon.^[5]^[17] He was honorably discharged in 1945 as a full lieutenant, having completed active duty without reported disciplinary issues or notable personal incidents.^[5]^[18]

Professional Career

Entry into Film and Early Roles

Following his education, including drama courses at the University of Southern California, Robert Stack entered the film industry through a screen test at Universal Studios arranged by producer Joe Pasternak.^[19] At age 20, Stack made his screen debut in the romantic comedy First Love (1939), directed by Henry Koster, portraying Ted Drake, the love interest of teenage star Deanna Durbin.^[12] The film featured Durbin's first onscreen kiss, which drew controversy due to her youth and the studio's efforts to maintain her wholesome image.^[8] Stack's early roles capitalized on his athletic build and good looks, often casting him in supporting parts in dramas and comedies. In 1940, he appeared in The Mortal Storm, playing a young Nazi sympathizer in Frank Borzage's anti-fascist film, earning critical notice for his performance amid the ensemble cast including James Stewart and Margaret Sullavan.^[19] He reunited with Durbin in Nice Girl? (1941), a light musical comedy, before starring as a frontiersman in the Western Badlands of Dakota (1941) alongside Richard Dix and Frances Farmer.^[9] These pre-war films established Stack as a versatile newcomer, though his career was soon interrupted by military service.^[1]

Post-War Film Successes and Challenges

Following his discharge from the U.S. Navy in 1946 after over three years of service, Robert Stack encountered difficulties reestablishing his pre-war momentum in Hollywood, where he had been a contract player but not yet a major star.^[20] His early post-war roles included the war drama Fighter Squadron (1948), in which he portrayed a pilot alongside Edmond O'Brien, and the musical comedy A Date with Judy (1948), featuring Jane Powell and a young Elizabeth Taylor.^[21] These films helped him transition into more prominent parts, evolving his screen persona from romantic leads to gritty, taciturn heroes.^[20] Stack achieved a notable success with Bwana Devil (1952), starring as big-game hunter Bob Hayward in the first full-color, feature-length 3D film, which sparked a short-lived but intense Hollywood fad for the format amid competition from television.^[20] Later that decade, he co-starred as Captain John Sullivan in the ensemble disaster thriller The High and the Mighty (1954), opposite John Wayne, contributing to its commercial viability as an early prototype for airborne suspense narratives.^[20]^[22] His portrayal of alcoholic playboy Kyle Hadley in Douglas Sirk's melodrama Written on the Wind (1956) earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor, marking a career highlight amid critical praise for the film's exploration of family dysfunction and excess.^[20]^[23] Despite these accomplishments, Stack's film career faced ongoing challenges, including typecasting in stoic authority figures and a perceived stiffness in delivery that limited versatility, as his momentum waned by the late 1950s amid industry shifts toward television and broader star competition.^[20] Roles in films like House of Bamboo (1955) and The Gift of Love (1958) provided steady work but did not elevate him to A-list status, underscoring the hurdles of sustaining post-war prominence without a defining blockbuster.^[20]

Transition to Television and Iconic Roles

Following the conclusion of his exclusive contract with 20th Century Fox in the mid-1950s, Robert Stack shifted focus to television, debuting in the lead role of Eliot Ness in the ABC crime drama series The Untouchables.^[7] The program, produced by Desilu Productions, premiered on October 15, 1959, and ran for four seasons until May 30, 1963, depicting Ness's efforts to combat organized crime during Prohibition through a team of incorruptible federal agents.^[24] Stack's portrayal of the stoic, determined Treasury agent garnered significant acclaim, solidifying his status as a television star.^[1] Stack continued with leading roles in subsequent series, including investigative reporter Jeff Cable in NBC's The Name of the Game from 1968 to 1971, Lt. Frank Quaid in ABC's Most Wanted during 1976–1977, and Captain Frank Strike in ABC's Strike Force from 1981 to 1982.^[1] These roles showcased his versatility in action-oriented and procedural formats, though none achieved the cultural impact of The Untouchables. In the late 1980s, he took on a hosting role in Unsolved Mysteries, an anthology series that aired initially as specials in 1987 before becoming a weekly NBC program in 1988, continuing under his narration until 2002 across networks including CBS and Lifetime.^[25] Stack's resonant voice and unflinching delivery of eerie case summaries became emblematic of the show's blend of true crime, mysteries, and supernatural segments, attracting millions of viewers and prompting viewer tips that resolved numerous cases.^[12]

Personal Life

Marriage and Family

Stack married actress and model Rosemarie Bowe on January 23, 1956, in Beverly Hills, California.^[9] The couple's union lasted 47 years until Stack's death in 2003, marked by mutual interests in skeet shooting and equestrian activities.^[19] Prior to the marriage, Stack had been known as a perennial bachelor.^[9] The Stacks had two children: a daughter, Elizabeth Langford Stack, born on January 20, 1957, and a son, Charles Robert Stack.^[26] Elizabeth pursued a career in the entertainment industry, while Charles maintained a lower public profile.^[14] The family resided primarily in Los Angeles, with the parents occasionally appearing together at public events.^[19]

Health Habits and Lifestyle

Stack engaged in sports from an early age, including polo during his school years and skeet shooting, in which he became a national champion and member of the Santa Monica team that set a world record of 493 out of 500 targets in 1935.^[1]^[27] These activities contributed to his lifelong emphasis on physical fitness, viewing the body as "a machine" that requires maintenance to avoid malfunction.^[28] His daily exercise routine in later years included morning sessions of sit-ups focused on core strength, 30 finger push-ups, and cardiovascular work on a Versiclimber, rowing machine, and treadmill.^[28] Stack played golf at least weekly and took regular walks with his wife Rosemarie and their dog, while limiting tennis to light practice.^[28] Stack followed a low-fat diet, starting with breakfasts of grains, nonfat milk, fruit such as raspberries or bananas, occasional turkey bacon, and decaffeinated coffee.^[28] Lunches featured salads or pasta with fish, chicken, broccoli, skim milk, and ample water, while dinners allowed indulgences like veal chops or cream-free soups prepared with olive oil.^[28] He ceased smoking following pneumonia contracted during the filming of The High and the Mighty in 1954, resuming only briefly for The Untouchables (1959–1963) at the insistence of tobacco sponsors.^[28]

Political Views and Public Engagements

Stances on Key Issues

Stack identified as a Republican and actively supported conservative candidates, including Barry Goldwater's 1964 presidential campaign and Ronald Reagan's gubernatorial and presidential bids, to which he made monetary contributions.^[29]^[30] He participated in events honoring Reagan, such as the 1985 "All Star Tribute to Dutch Reagan" at NBC Studios.^[31] Despite perceptions of him as a "right-wing Republican," Stack expressed discomfort with the label, indicating a less ideological approach.^[32] His friendship with John F. Kennedy, with whom he shared an apartment in England during the 1940s, underscored a non-dogmatic stance within the party.^[33] On foreign policy, Stack opposed U.S. military involvement in Vietnam, a position he clarified in a 1971 lawsuit against CBS, alleging the documentary The Selling of the Pentagon falsely portrayed him as a war supporter and implied he profited from defense contracts for pro-war advocacy.^[34] He undertook a three-week tour of Vietnam hospitals in the late 1960s to visit wounded personnel, reflecting support for troops amid his broader anti-war views.^[35] Later, in 1988, he narrated the Time-Life Vietnam Experience book series, providing historical context on the conflict without endorsing its prosecution.^[36]

Legal Actions and Media Disputes

In 1971, Stack filed a $25 million libel lawsuit against CBS in New York State Supreme Court over the network's documentary The Selling of the Pentagon, which criticized U.S. military public relations efforts and spending during the Vietnam War era.^[34] The suit alleged that the program misrepresented Stack's interview comments to falsely depict him as a proponent of escalated U.S. military involvement in Vietnam, while also implying he had received substantial fees for pro-military speaking engagements, portraying him as a "warmonger."^[34] Represented by attorney Edward Bennett Williams, Stack contended that CBS's editing of his footage created a deceptive narrative inconsistent with his actual statements, which did not endorse the war or disclose any such payments.^[34] The documentary, directed by Peter Davis and aired on February 23, 1971, featured Stack among celebrities like John Wayne and Jack Webb to illustrate alleged Pentagon recruitment of Hollywood figures for public support, sparking broader congressional scrutiny and defenses of military information programs.^[37] Stack's action highlighted tensions between media portrayals of public figures and editorial practices in investigative journalism, though no public record details a final resolution, such as dismissal, settlement terms, or court ruling.^[34] No other verified legal actions or significant media disputes involving Stack were documented in primary sources, distinguishing his career from peers facing frequent litigation over image rights or endorsements.

Later Years and Legacy

Final Projects and Retirement

In the final phase of his career, Robert Stack primarily focused on television hosting, serving as the narrator for Unsolved Mysteries from its pilot specials in 1987 through the series' conclusion in 2002 across networks including NBC and CBS.^[25] The anthology program examined real-life cases of unsolved crimes, disappearances, and unexplained events, with Stack's gravelly, unflinching voiceover style becoming synonymous with the show's eerie tone and viewer engagement.^[38] He contributed to over 300 episodes during his tenure, often appearing on-screen to introduce segments, though the series experienced declining ratings in its later seasons.^[39] Stack's feature film work tapered off but included comedic and voice roles that parodied his dramatic persona, such as in BASEketball (1998), Mumford (1999), and Sealed with a Kiss (1999).^[19] His last on-screen appearances came in 2001 with supporting parts in View from the Top, the animated Recess: School's Out (providing voice work), and Killer Bud, after which no further acting credits are recorded.^[7] These projects reflected a shift toward lighter, ensemble fare rather than leads, aligning with his post-Untouchables pivot to humor seen in earlier films like Airplane! (1980). Stack never formally retired, maintaining selective involvement in entertainment until health complications intervened; he died of heart failure on May 14, 2003, at age 84 in Beverly Hills, California, while receiving treatment for prostate cancer.^[20]^[7] His final Unsolved Mysteries episode aired in 2002, with Stack narrating cases up to approximately one year before his death, underscoring his commitment to the medium despite advancing age and illness.^[40]

Death and Posthumous Recognition

Stack died of heart failure on May 14, 2003, at his home in the Bel Air section of Los Angeles, at the age of 84.^[41] He had undergone radiation therapy for prostate cancer in October 2002 but appeared to be recovering at the time of his death, according to his wife, Rosemarie Bowe Stack, who discovered him collapsed around 5 p.m.^[41]^[10] Stack was interred at Westwood Village Memorial Park Cemetery in Los Angeles.^[10] Following his death, Stack received no major new awards or inductions, though his portrayal of Eliot Ness in The Untouchables (1959–1963) remained a benchmark for television tough-guy archetypes, with the series' influence cited in retrospectives on crime drama genres.^[8] Reruns of Unsolved Mysteries, which he hosted from 1987 until 2002, continued airing on various networks, sustaining public familiarity with his distinctive voice and demeanor into the mid-2000s and beyond via streaming platforms.^[41] His earlier induction into the National Skeet Shooting Hall of Fame in 1971 underscored a facet of his legacy tied to pre-acting athletic achievements, though this predated his passing.^[15] Obituaries emphasized his Emmy-winning performance and Oscar-nominated role in Written on the Wind (1956) as enduring contributions to American entertainment.^[8]^[41]

Additional Works

Radio Credits

Robert Stack appeared in several radio anthology dramas during the early 1950s, primarily adapting literary works or film stories for broadcast. His voice work capitalized on his emerging screen presence, delivering dramatic portrayals in family-oriented and suspenseful narratives.^[42] In Family Theater, a Mutual Broadcasting System series emphasizing moral and historical themes, Stack starred in multiple episodes. He portrayed Thomas Jefferson in "The Indispensable Man," aired on February 11, 1953, a story highlighting the Founding Father's role in American independence and his photographic memory amid espionage threats.^[43] ^[44] He also featured in "Round Trip," broadcast on March 25, 1953, alongside supporting cast including Martha Wilkerson.^[45] Additional appearances included "The Spy," an adaptation of James Fenimore Cooper's novel, with broadcasts noted in 1950 and 1957.^[46] ^[47] Stack also performed on Lux Radio Theatre, CBS's prestigious adaptation program sponsored by Lever Brothers. On January 16, 1950, he starred in "Mr. Belvedere Goes to College," recreating elements from the 1949 film with a focus on intellectual satire.^[48] Later, in "So Big," aired September 21, 1954, he co-starred with Ida Lupino in the dramatic tale of ambition and hardship in 19th-century America, drawing from Edna Ferber's novel.^[49] ^[50] These episodes showcased his baritone delivery suited to period pieces and tense confrontations.^[51]

Authored Books

Straight Shooting, co-authored with Mark Evans and published by Macmillan in 1980, serves as Stack's autobiography detailing his Hollywood career from early film roles to television stardom.^[52] The memoir offers candid reflections on industry dynamics, including interactions with studio executives and fellow actors, presented in a humorous and nostalgic tone without sensationalism.^[53] It covers pivotal experiences such as his portrayal of Eliot Ness in The Untouchables, emphasizing professional challenges and personal insights gained over decades in acting.^[54] No other books are attributed to Stack as primary author.^[55]
