Neither the name or face ring a bell.

I believe he starred in a movie that included Jackie Kennedy’s sister. Does that help?

One of Hollywood’s quiet gays.

RIP, Farley Granger.

I looked at his imdb (internet movie database) profile and some pictures and I couldn’t remember a single performance.

Nor I but I remember his name 35 years ago or so.
My wife is a Hitchcock fan and so has heard of him.

Sad to hear. Truly memorable from two of Hitchcock’s finest films. R.I.P.

Granger was superb in Side Street, a little-known but excellent film noir.

You know you’re old when you remember actors of that age.

For some reason, there’s a rumor that he “married” Harry Belafonte on Fire Island in the ‘50s. What a world, what a world.

Then I see post 11 wherein it’s announced that Ferlin Husky has died. His biggest hit, I believe, was “(Since You’re) Gone.” And what a monster hit it was, in both C&W and pop.
