George DeNormand (September 22, 1903 – December 23, 1976) was an American actor and stuntman.
DeNormand was an amateur middleweight boxer in the 1920s. [1]
He was a prolific though often uncredited actor and stunt double in movies such as The Raven and Bride of Frankenstein. [1] He was a stunt double in The Lone Ranger serials in the 1930s. [2]
He made headlines in 1944 when he stole a bracelet valued at $20,000 as a prank [3] and in 1945 due to his connection with a black market meat ration ring. [4]
In a 1969 episode of My Three Sons ("Came the Day"), he was to play the uncle of the bride ( Beverly Garland), but he faltered so many times while walking her down the aisle that DeCordova, the director, recast Tony Regan in the role. [5]
Later in his career, he participated in a discussion panel on movie serial at the Fantasy Film convention in 1973 [6] and was also interviewed by Jim Harmon. [1]
He was married to and divorced from Wanda Tuchoch (1898 – 1985). [7]
He died in 1976 and was buried in Hollywood Hills at Forest Lawn Cemetery. [8]
