Lowest Rated: 14% Too Much Sun (1991)

Birthplace: Bremerton, Washington, USA

Tough supporting player and leading man who starred in a number of "B" pictures from the late 1940s through the late 50s. In later year Duff played a variety of character roles, including an enjoyably nasty turn in the 1980s on the Southern-fried primetime TV soap, "Flamingo Road." Married to actress-director Ida Lupino from 1951 to 1973.
