Anyone watch is Biography on A&E on June 29th?

There were some interesting things like he didn't retire from acting but quit.

They mention briefly his radio work including a sipnet from Inner Sanctum Mysteries.

I like most of his Suspense appearance. "Track of the Cat" and "The Spencer Brothers".

Widmark also did a stint as male lead in one of the afternoon soaps ("When A Girl Marries"?, "Front Page Farrell"?) It was early during the run of the subject show, and he did not see it through to the end. BTW, I'm not sure what you mean by, "He didn't retire, he quit." I did both simultaneously a few years ago.

Widmark said he quit. That means he is done with acting. If he had retired that is always a chance he would do more work. I was just quoting what I heard on Biography.

Widmark can also be heard on Molle Mystery Theatre.

Ricard Widmark can also be heard in the SHADOW show "Death in a Minor Key" if I'm not mistaken. The first time I heard him was on INNER SANCTUM show "Elixir No. 4" or Man Who Couldn't Die. I for one find his appearance on SUSPENSE in "Track of the Cat" especially rivet
