Spoiler : Peter Sydney Ernest Lawford, born Peter Sydney Ernest Aylen; September 7, 1923 – December 24, 1984) He was a member of the "Rat Pack" and brother-in-law to President John F. Kennedy, and more noted in later years for his off-screen activities as a celebrity than for his acting. From the 1940s to the 1960s, he had a strong presence in popular culture and starred in a number of highly acclaimed films. At the age of 14, Lawford severely injured his right arm in an accident when it went through a glass door. The injury greatly compromised the use of his lower arm and hand with irreversible nerve damage, which he later learned to hide. Lawford decided to pursue a career as an actor, a decision that resulted in one of his aunts refusing to leave him her considerable fortune, as originally planned. Lawford's first film role had been at age seven in the film Poor Old Bill. In 1938, he made his Hollywood debut in a minor part in the film Lord Jeff. He won acclaim for his performance in The White Cliffs of Dover (1944), in which he played a young soldier during World War II. He was given supporting roles in MGM films over the next few years, including On an Island with You (1948), Easter Parade (1948), Little Women (1949), Royal Wedding (1951), and You for Me (1952). However, his greatest notoriety came from his marriage to to socialite Patricia Helen Kennedy, sister of then-US Senator John F. Kennedy, as well as being part of the "Rat Pack". Later in life, Lawford suffered from kidney and liver failure after years of substance abuse. He died of cardiac arrest at age 61, and was originally interred at Westwood Memorial Park. Owing to a dispute between his widow and the cemetery, Lawford's ashes were removed and scattered in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of California by his widow.

Spoiler : His acting was decent early in his career when MGM was run by Louie Mayer, but later I think he walked thru a few roles.

Spoiler : What was his greatest performance on film? Did he even have one? He may have been in some good films, but that wasn't his fault. Pathetic man.

Spoiler : Happy birthday to Peter Lawford, born on September 7, 1923.

Spoiler : Happy Birthday in Heaven Peter Lawford. May his son rest in peace.
