Jacques Haussmann Wiki: Salary, Married, Wedding, Spouse, Family

John Houseman (born Jacques Haussmann; September 22, 1902 – October 31, 1988) was a Romanian-born British–American actor and film producer who became known for his highly publicized collaboration with director Orson Welles from their days in the Federal Theatre Project through to the production of Citizen Kane. He is perhaps best known for his role as Professor Charles Kingsfield in the film The Paper Chase (1973), for which he won a best supporting actor Oscar. He reprised his role as Kingsfield in the subsequent television series adaptation of The Paper Chase. Houseman was also known for his commercials for the brokerage firm Smith Barney. He had a distinctive Mid-Atlantic English accent, in common with many actors of his generation. John Houseman had a strikingly similar voice and speaking style to fellow actor, Ray Milland

#Quote
1[on Robert Ryan] A disturbing mixture of anger and tenderness who had reached stardom by playing mostly brutal, neurotic roles that were at complete variance with his true nature.
#Fact
1One of his films as a producer was Julius Caesar (1953), which was the first American film for John Gielgud. Gielgud would later turn down the role for which Houseman won an Oscar, The Paper Chase (1973). However, Gielgud did succeed Houseman in The Winds of War (1983) sequel, _'War and Remembrance (1988)'.
2His hatred for former partner Orson Welles was notorious, and Houseman never passed up an opportunity to attack him, often on very personal grounds. He is known to have given a great deal of information, most of it false or misleading, to Pauline Kael for her much-criticized essay, "Raising Kane". However, he could never escape from Welles' shadow, and even managed to die on the 50th anniversary of the famous "War of the Worlds" radio broadcast. On his deathbed, he admitted to Welles biographer 'Simon Callow' (qav) that "meeting Welles was the most important event of my life".
3Formerly a close friend and collaborator of Orson Welles during their theater days, they had two blow-ups as Welles began his screen career. Welles originally planned to make his screen debut with an adaptation of Joseph Conrad's novel "Heart of Darkness", starring himself as Kurtz. It was to have been made by RKO Pictures, but a host of production problems caused the studio to tell Welles that if no progress had been made by December 31, 1941, none of the cast would be paid. Welles offered to pay the cast himself if that happened. Houseman told him during a studio dinner that their production company did not have enough money to pay them all. Welles called him a bloodsucker and crook. Houseman began to leave, and Welles started throwing dinnerware at him. The two later reconciled during the writing of Citizen Kane (1941), when Welles asked Houseman to "babysit" Herman J. Mankiewicz, meaning to keep him from drinking too much. After Mankeweicz delivered his script, Welles made a few changes before going into production. Welles later publicly claimed to have substantially re-written the script. Houseman, based on having been with Mankeweicz during the writing, publicly disagreed, saying that most of the credit belonged to Mankeweicz, with a little guidance from himself. This led Welles to permanently end their friendship.
4Former acting teacher of Robin Williams and Christopher Reeve.
5Biography in: "The Scribner Encyclopedia of American Lives". Volume Two, 1986-1990, pages 435-437. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1999.
6Member of the jury at the Venice Film Festival in 1962.
7Co-founded the Theatre Group at the University of California at Los Angeles, with Robert Ryan and Sidney Harmon in 1959.
8He died soon after filming The Naked Gun: From the Files of Police Squad! (1988) but before its theatrical release. Coincidentally, Ethel Merman's final film role was in another Zucker film, Airplane! (1980).
9During his teaching days at Julliard, one of his students was Robin Williams, whom Houseman admired. The actor later advised the future comedian that he should quit Julliard since he was wasting his talent, and strike out on his own as a comedian which Williams soon did.
10Is portrayed by Simeon Andrews in RKO 281 (1999), and by Cary Elwes in Cradle Will Rock (1999).
11Had two sons with his second wife, Joan Houseman.
12Taught acting at Julliard School of Fine Arts for awhile.
13He and Orson Welles were the founders of the famous Mercury Theatre Players.
14Houseman was a producer of unit 891, the government theatre project funded by the WPA. He was producer of the legendary "Cradle Will Rock" which sent shock waves of paranoia from New York to Washington, D.C.
