A Face in the Crowd: Jay C. Flippen

The Wild One

A shriveled-up little vampire in a wheelchair, his flesh as weathered and corrupt as a crab apple left too long in the sun, barks at a buxotic wondergirl who’s spilling out of a microscopic party dress two times too tiny for her ample charms: “Babydoll, will you shut that thing off?!”

Her name is Shawn Devereaux, and she’s kittenishly fiddling with the hi-fi in Russ Meyer’s under-sung censorship satire The Seven Minutes (71), while the meaty-faced pig-men in the room have important business to discuss. The man doing the barking, many years her senior, is the great Jay C. Flippen, born 1899 in Little Rock, Arkansas. A one-time teenaged blackface comedian (who billed himself as “The Ham What Am”), protégé of the legendary African-American entertainer Bert Williams, early radio sportscaster, Thirties jazz singer (of “naughty” tunes like “She Knows Her ‘Onions’”), vaudeville headliner and frequent marquee-topper at the Palace Theatre on Broadway, Flippen was one of Hollywood’s most familiar character actors.

Flippen was already a veteran performer on radio and the Broadway stage by the time he focused on film. He could be counted on to provide his patented gruff and bluster in many a action film whether playing a sheriff, prison warden, military high-ranker, bartender, or farmer. Moreover, his characters supported James Stewart in several of his standard vehicles, including Winchester ’73 (1950), Bend of the River (1952), Thunder Bay (1953), The Far Country (1954), Strategic Air Co

Biography

The grizzled face of character actor Jay C. Flippen was familiar to audiences of Hollywood's Golden Age as he appeared in more than 60 films in a career that spanned more than 40 years. With his bulldog jowls and arching eyebrows, he was often cast in roles as gruff or even villainous characters, yet Flippen's background was in comedy, having worked in vaudeville and minstrel shows before moving into radio and onto Broadway. He made his film debut in a largely forgotten comedy short called "Home Edition" in 1929, but it wasn't until the latter half of the '40s that his film career began to take off. In the 1950s, he appeared in nearly 40 films and successfully broke into television; he went on to make guest appearances on TV throughout his career. Flippen, a reliable supporting actor, appeared alongside legendary screen star James Stewart in eight films, many of which were westerns like the classic "Winchester '73." Yet Flippen took on a wide array of genres during his
