JOEL MCCREA BIOGRAPHY & FILMOGRAPHY:
Joel Albert McCrea was born on November 5, 1905 in South Pasadena, California. He was an American actor and film star whose career spanned 50 years with appearances in over 90 films. McCrea came from a California
family
with roots reaching back to the pioneer days. As a youth, McCrea fulfilled his fascination with movies by appearing as an extra in a show starring Ruth Roland. Joel McCrea graduated from Hollywood High School and then Pomona
College
, class of 1928. During high school, McCrea worked as a stunt double. In
college
, McCrea acted on stage and took courses in drama and public speaking, and appeared regularly at the Pasadena Playhouse. McCrea was working as an extra, stunt man and bit player from 1927 to 1928 when he signed a contract with MGM where he was cast in a major role in the film "The Jazz Age" (1929). McCrea got his first leading role in "
The Silver Horde
" (1930). It would be the same film that McCrea would meet his future wife
Frances Dee
.
McCrea moved to RKO in 1930 where he established himself as a handsome leading man who was considered versatile enough to star in both dramas and comedies. He matriculated into one of the most popular action stars of the 1930's, making lasting friendships with such people as director
Cecil B. DeMille
and comedian
Will Rogers
. It was Rogers who instilled in McCrea a strong business sense, as well as a love of ranching; before the 1940's had ended, McCrea was a multi-millionaire, as much from his land holdings and ranching activities as from his film
work
. According to David Ragan's Stars of the '30s, the McCreas were prodigious savers, accumulating a large estate, which included working-ranch properties. McCrea was an outdoorsman who had once listed his occupation as 'rancher' and his hobby as 'acting'.
He had begun buying property as early as 1933, when he purchased his first 1,000 acres in what was then an unincorporated area of eastern Ventura County, California, but later became Thousand Oaks, California. This was the beginning of what became a 3,000-acre estate on which McCrea and his wife Frances lived, raised their children, and rode their horses. Joel McCrea's
work
ethic was in part attributed to his Scottish heritage and it also may have stemmed from his friendship in
the 1930's with fellow personality and sometime actor,
Will Rogers
. McCrea recounted that "the Oklahoma Sage" gave him a profound piece of advice: "Save half of what you make, and live on just the other half."
