BIOGRAPHY

Expand Full Bio

Multi-talented child performer who graduated to the legitimate stage as a musical comedy star in 1917 and made sporadic appearances in silent films from 1920. By the 1940s Webb was often cast as an effete, waspish snob; he played a mordant columnist in Otto Preminger's "Laura" (1944) and was memorably pompous in "Razor's Edge" (1946), "Dark Corner" (1946) and certified his unexpected, middle-aged stardom by dumping a bowl of oatmeal over the head of a small child in the comedy "Sitting Pretty" (1948). Other notable films include "Cheaper By the Dozen" (1950) and "Three Coins in the Fountain" (1954).
