Geocache Description:





Besides jblane, Victor Mature is perhaps Louisville's most prolific native actor.

Victor was born to a German-speaking Tyrolean father, Marcellus George Mature, a cutler, and a Swiss-American mother, Clara Mature. Hoping to become an actor, he studied at the Pasadena Playhouse in California. After achieving some acclaim in his first few films, he served in the Coast Guard in World War II. Mature became one of Hollywood's busiest and most popular actors after the war. His roles in John Ford's My Darling Clementine (1946) and in Henry Hathaway's Kiss of Death (1947) were among his finest work, though he moved more and more frequently into more exotic roles in films like Samson and Delilah (1949) and The Egyptian (1954).

More interested in golf than acting, his appearances diminished through the 1960s. After a cameo as Samson's father in a TV remake of his own "Samson and Delilah" (1984), he retired for good.

Like many Hollywood stars of his time, he was married quite a few times (5), but only had one child.

Applying for membership in the swank Los Angeles Country Club at the height of his fame, Mature was turned down and told that the golfing facility did not accept actors as members. His response: "I'm not an actor - and I've got 64 films to prove it!".

Victor died of cancer at his Rancho Santa Fe, California, home in 1999 and was buried here in Louisville.
