Born Melchor Gaston Ferrer on Aug. 25, 1917, in Elberon, N.J., Ferrer was the son of a Cuban-born doctor and a socialite mother, attending privateschools and Princeton University. He originally planned to be a writer. "I don't think he ever really wanted to be an actor," his son Mark said on June 3, 2008. "He had kind of a stunning face and it got him typecast."
