Story Summary:

Harold Huber could be almost anyone on screen. He played Chinese, Mexican, and French characters in films like The Thin Man, Charlie Chan on Broadway, and Parachute Jumper. He made his Broadway debut in 1930 in A Farewell to Arms and appeared in five Broadway productions in all. After his credited screen debut in 1932, he averaged nearly nine films a year for eleven years. Off camera, he was an amateur fencing champion, a scholar of antiques, and a man who spoke five languages. Costars called him a delightful person. At home, he was devoted to his wife, Ethel, and daughter, Margaret. Harold Huber rests at Mount Hebron Cemetery. ~Blog by Renee Meyers
