Timeline

1950

Was blacklisted during the Red Scare of the 1950s. It seems that already blacklisted author Dalton Trumbo had used Abbott's name at one point as an alias. Eventually, a producer, wanting to hire Abbott, was able to have his name removed from the list.

1944

In 1944, Abbott was cast in the lead role of Elwood P. Dowd on Broadway in Mary Chase's "Harvey", but argued that the writer was wrong to have the play's imaginary six-foot rabbit visible on stage. He left the production due to "artistic differences". Author Chase later deferred to his judgment and the show became a hit -- without Abbott.

1942

Appears in two Oscar Best Picture winners: Mrs. Miniver (1942) and Gigi (1958).

1941

In 1941 he was in California and about to return to England when he was offered a role in 'Shanghai Gesture' which was the prelude to a long film career that included 'Mrs Miniver', 'JaneEyre', 'Madame Bovary', 'Gigi' and 'Gambit'.

1937

In 1937 He was in the production of 'Hamlet' that was performed at Elsinore with Laurence Olivier and Vivien Leigh.
