Robert Taylor is known as an actor for his consistency. His global persona belies the fact of being a mid-westerner, born Spangler Arlington Brugh in Nebraska. He got his entertainment start singing in a small ensemble - a trio - in college in Nebraska, they who performed on the local radio. Taylor disbanded the trio to follow his music teacher to California, where he was spotted by a studio representative which led to his start in movies. His starring role in Camille (1936) opposite Greta Garbo shot him quickly to stardom. He starred in one success after another with other A list movie stars. The onset of WWII placed him in one war related movie after another. The war itself would be the cause of a brief hiatus to movies as he went into active duty. He resumed his career as popular as ever, with perhaps his most lauded role as Marcus Vinicius in Quo Vadis (1951).
