Life
Edward Andrews was the son of a clergyman in the Episcopalian Church . He was at the University of Virginia for three years but decided to take up acting. He started his career in the theater. He made his stage debut in 1926. From 1935 he appeared on Broadway in several productions. After an interruption due to military service in World War II, he was seen in television series from 1949. He had his film premiere in 1955 in the film A City Goes Through Hell , in which he already had one of the leading roles. In the same year he starred alongside Katharine Hepburn in David Lean's film Dream of My Life . He soon established himself as an actor for major supporting roles, such as in Dirty Laurel or Different from the Others , both from 1956. Later he said at that time that he had played one villain after the other. In 1960 he was seen in the role of George Babbitt in Elmer Gantry . He named this film along with Anders als die Others when asked which role he was particularly proud of. Then he appeared several times in films with Doris Day ( What this woman does , don't send me flowers , spy in lace panties ), as well as in five episodes of her series Doris Day in… . He gained further fame through his participation in Billy Wilder's film Avanti, Avanti! (1972) alongside Jack Lemmon . His last film was Gremlins by Joe Dante in 1984 . After the shooting, he was enthusiastic about Dante and said that he wanted to do another film with him, but that didn't happen because of his death about six months later.
He has been featured in television series since 1949. He had guest roles in Smoking Guns , Twilight Zone , The Boss , Charming Jeannie , In Love with a Witch , Alias Smith and Jones , Bonanza , The Streets of San Francisco , Starsky & Hutch , Charlie's Angels , The Man in the Mountains or Quincy . He had a leading role in two series, namely 1964 to 1965 in Broadside as Commander Roger Adrian and 1979 in Supertrain as Harry Flood . Both series were unsuccessful and therefore did not last long.
He was mostly dubbed by Siegfried Schürenberg .
Edward Andrews was married to actress Emily Barnes (1927-2002) from 1955 until his death. They had two daughters and a son.
