}}Ricardo Cortez (born Jacob Kranze[1][2][3] or Jacob Krantz;[4] September 19, 1900{{Citation needed|date=July 2015}} – April 28, 1977) was an American actor. He was also known as Jack Crane early in his acting career.[3][5]

Early years

Cortez came to the United States when he was one year old[3]—or was born to a Jewish family in New York City[6] (Vienna has been incorrectly cited as his birthplace).[7][6][8] He attended DeWitt Clinton High School in New York City.[2][9]

He was an amateur boxer and worked on Wall Street as a runner prior to entering the film business.[3]

Acting

Hollywood executives changed his name from Krantz to Cortez to capitalize on the popularity of the era's "Latin lovers" (namely Rudolph Valentino, Ramon Novarro and Antonio Moreno). When rumor began to circulate that Cortez was not actually Latin, the studios attempted to pass him off as French before finally "admitting" to his supposedly Viennese origin. Cortez appeared in over 100 films. He began his career playing romantic leads, and when sound cinema arrived, his strong delivery and New York accent made him an ideal heavy. Occasionally portrayed leading men, Cortez's main focus became character acting. He played opposite Joan Crawford in Montana Moon (1930), played Sam Spade in the original, pre-code version of The Maltese Falcon (1931), co-starred with Charles Farrell and Bette Davis in The Big Shakedown (1934), and with Al Jolson and Dolores del Río in Wonder Bar (1934). In 1936, Cortez replaced Warren William as Perry Mason in The Case of the Black Cat.

Directing

Cortez directed seven films for 20th Century Fox from 1938 through 1940, all of them "program pictures made on a shoestring for the express purpose of filling the bottom half of the mandatory double bill ..."[10] His first film as director was Inside Story, which was assigned to Cortez in the spring of 1938 but was not released until 1939. He also directed Chasing Danger, The Escape (1939), Heaven with a Barbed Wire Fence (1939), City of Chance (1940), Free, Blonde and 21 (1940), and Girl in 313 (1940).[10]

Personal life

Cortez was married to silent film actress Alma Rubens until her death from pneumonia in 1931. They were married January 31, 1926 in Riverside, California. He married Christine Conniff Lee on January 8, 1934.[10]

When he retired from the film business, Cortez returned to New York, working as a stockbroker for Salomon Brothers on Wall Street.

Cortez was the older brother of noted cinematographer Stanley Cortez (born Stanislaus Krantz).[4]

Death

Cortez died in Doctors Hospital in New York City in 1977 at age 77[8] and was interred at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx.

Recognition

Cortez has a star at 1500 Vine Street in the Motion Pictures section of the Hollywood Walk of Fame. It was dedicated on February 8, 1960.[11]
