Brett Halsey (1933-)

biography

Born Charles Hand on June 20, 1933, in Santa Ana, California, actor Brett Halsey began his acting career while still a teenager. Shortly after graduating from high school, he was put under contract with Universal-International. Initially, he was given small parts in Universal's higher profile films, but after a couple of years he landed better roles in Ma and Pa Kettle at Home (1954; with Marjorie Main and Percy Kilbride) and To Hell and Back (1955; with Audie Murphy and Marshall Thompson). Upon leaving Universal in 1955, Halsey found work on television and in several drive-in flicks, including Hot Rod Rumble (1957; with Leigh Snowden) and High School Hellcats (1958; with Yvonne Lime). In 1959, he was put under contract with 20th Century Fox, where he starred in such films as Return of the Fly (1959; with Vincent Price) and Desire in the Dust (1960; with Raymond Burr and Martha Hyer). Fox also cast him as the star of its 1961-1962 ABC adventure series Follow the Sun.

In 1954 Halsey married first wife, actress Renate Hoy, who was Miss Germany 1952. After having a son and daughter, the couple divorced in 1959. His second wife was Bond girl Luciana Paluzzi, but this union lasted only a year. He married third wife, actress Heidi Bruhl, in 1964.

In 1962, after his TV series Follow the Sun was canceled, Halsey headed to Europe to star in a number of adventure films and spy thrillers, such as The Avenger of Venice (1964; with Burt Nelson), Mission Lisbon (1965; with Fernando Rey), and Spy in Your Eye (1965; with Dana Andrews and Pier Angeli). When he returned to the U.S. in 1971, he found many guest-starring roles on popular televison series, such as Columbo and Alias Smith and Jones.
