Share

Grady Harwell Sutton, 89, a character actor who deftly stole scenes by merely rolling his eyes, looking blank or speaking a line or two in his slow Southern drawl. He was the perfect foil for W.C. Fields, going through “The Bank Dick” with a petulant whimper, the lardy son-in-law every father dreams of in his nightmares. His 165 movie credits include “Brewster’s Millions,” “White Christmas,” “My Fair Lady” and “Myra Breckenridge.” On Sept. 17 of natural causes at the Motion Picture and Television Country Home and Hospital in Woodland Hills.
