Description[from Freebase]
Richard Jordan (July 19, 1937 – August 30, 1993) was an American stage, screen and film actor. A long-time member of the New York Shakespeare Festival, he performed in many Off Broadway and Broadway plays. His films include Logan's Run, Les Misérables, Raise the Titanic, The Friends of Eddie Coyle, The Yakuza, The Bunker, Dune, The Secret of My Success, The Hunt for Red October, Posse and Gettysburg. Robert Anson Jordan, Jr. was born in New York City, to Robert Anson Senior, from Boston and Constance Hand-Jordan, from New York. His maternal grandfather was Learned Hand, Justice of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, and one of the most respected jurists in the United States. In 1942 when Jordan was five years old, his parents divorced. His mother married Newbold Morris, president of the New York City Council. The marriage was performed by Mayor Fiorello LaGuardia at Gracie Mansion, the first marriage to be enacted there. Following his graduation from Harvard University in 1958, Jordan began his acting career in earnest. In 1961, he appeared on Broadway with Art Carney and Elizabeth Ashley in Take Her, She's Mine.
