biography:
Walter Davis Pidgeon (Saint John, 23 de septiembre de 1897-Santa Mónica, 25 de septiembre de 1984) fue un actor canadiense que vivió la mayor parte de su vida en los Estados Unidos, y que finalmente se nacionalizó como ciudadano de esa nación.

Descontento con la banca, se trasladó a Nueva York, presentándose como actor en la oficina de E. E. Clive. Tras trabajar en el teatro unos pocos años, debutó en Broadway en 1925.

Pidgeon hizo varias películas mudas en los años veinte. Se convirtió en una gran estrella con la llegada del cine sonoro gracias a su facilidad para el canto. Trabajó en varias musicales con el inicial Technicolor, tales como The Bride of the Regiment (La novia del regimiento) (1930), Sweet Kitty Bellairs (La dulce Ketty) (1930), Kiss Me Again (Bésame otra vez) (1930) y Viennese Nights (Noches en Viena) (1930). Quedó rápidamente encasillado en los musicales, por lo que, cuando a finales de los años treinta el público empezó a cansarse de ellos, su carrera empezó a vacilar. Pocos después Pidgeon hizo papeles secundarios en películas como Saratoga y The Girl of the Golden West (Ciudad de oro).

No recuperó su popularidad hasta que protagonizó ¡Qué verde era mi valle!. Trabajó frente a Greer Garson en Blossoms in the Dust (De corazón a corazón), La señora Miniver (por la cual fue nominado al Oscar al mejor actor) y su secuela, The Miniver Story (La historia de los Miniver). Fue otra vez nominado en 1944 por Madame Curie, de nuevo junto a Garson.

Aunque continuó trabajando en el cine, en películas como Week-End at the Waldorf (Fin de semana) y El planeta prohibido, basada en La Tempestad de William Shakespeare, Pidgeon volvió al teatro de Broadway a mediados de los años cincuenta, tras una ausencia de veinte años, siendo elegido para representar el musical Take Me Along, junto a Jackie Gleason. Siguió haciendo cine, interpretando al Almirante Harriman Nelson en el film de 1961 Viaje al fondo del mar, y en 1962, en la producción de Walt Disney Big Red (El campeón) y en el título de Otto Preminger Advise and Consent ((Tempestad sobre Washington). Fue bien recibido su papel como Florenz Ziegfield en Funny Girl (1965). Tambié fue Casey, el compinche de James Coburn en Harry in Your Pocket (Harry, dedos largos) (1973). Pidgeon también participó en diversos programas televisivos, incluyendo Perry Mason, The FBI, y Marcus Welby, M.D.. Se retiró totalmente en 1973.

Pidgeon participó en el Sindicato de Actores Estadounidenses, siendo su presidente desde 1952 a 1957. Como tal, intentó paralizar la producción de la película Salt of the Earth, la cual fue realizada por un equipo incluido en la lista negra durante el macarthismo.

Pidgeon tiene una estrella en el paseo de la fama de Hollywood, en el 6414 de Hollywood Blvd.
