Melvyn Douglas was born Melvyn Edouard Hesselberg in Macon, Georgia in 1901. His father was a Russian Jewish concert pianist who taught piano at colleges and his mother was of Scottish heritage. Melvyn knew he wanted to be an actor, and he dropped out of high school and joined touring stock companies. In 1928, he made a Broadway debut in A Free Soul playing the same part Clark Gable would play in the 1931 movie version. In 1930, he starred in Tonight or Never, and not only was the play a big success, but he acted with Helen Gahagan, and they married the next year (he had been previously married from 1925 to 1930).
