By Vlad Zakh · May 21, 2026
Nat Pendleton brought a burly, good-natured comic presence to Hollywood in the 1930s and 40s and frequently played lovable tough guys and dim-witted henchmen. Horse Feathers recruits ringers for a college football game, Lady for a Day poses an apple seller as royalty, I’m No Angel navigates a carnival performer’s wealthy suitors, and Penthouse investigates a murder to clear a friend’s name. The Beast of the City and Taxi! round out the list.
