Timeline

1909

Ralph Byrd (April 22, 1909 – August 18, 1952) was an American actor.

He was most famous for playing the comic strip character Dick Tracy on screen, in serials, films and television.

The son of George and Edna May Byrd, Ralph Byrd was born in Dayton, Ohio.

Before he began acting in films, he sang and danced in theatrical productions.

1932

He debuted in movies with a bit part in Red-Headed Woman in (1932).

1936

He married actress and model Virginia Carroll in 1936.

1937

Once established in Republic Pictures' Dick Tracy serials (beginning in 1937), he was usually cast in action features (as a truck driver, lumberjack, cowboy, etc.).

Byrd also starred in three other serials: Blake of Scotland Yard (1937), S.O.S. Coast Guard (1937), and The Vigilante (1947).

Republic cast Byrd as Chester Gould's comic-strip detective Dick Tracy in the 1937 serial of the same name.

1944

He served in the United States Army during World War II, having been inducted into the service in San Pedro, California, in 1944.

1945

RKO Radio Pictures made a feature film, Dick Tracy, in 1945, with Morgan Conway in the title role.

After two films, exhibitors complained.

To them, Ralph Byrd was Dick Tracy, and only Ralph Byrd would do.

RKO capitulated, and hired Byrd to finish the series.

1947

Dick Tracy's Dilemma and Dick Tracy Meets Gruesome were both released in 1947.

Byrd portrayed Tracy for one season on the TV series.

1952

The couple remained together until Byrd's death in 1952.

The film was so successful that it spawned three sequels (unheard of in serials): Dick Tracy Returns, Dick Tracy's G-Men (featuring a young Jennifer Jones, under her real name of Phylis Isley), and Dick Tracy vs. Crime Inc. (reissued in 1952 as Dick Tracy vs. the Phantom Empire).

He died of a heart attack on August 18, 1952, and is buried at Forest Lawn Memorial Park (Glendale).

He was 43 years old.
