Ruggles of Red Gap Charles Laughton, Charles Ruggles Pinocchio Fannie Brice, Hanley Stafford Pillow to Post Ida Lupino, John Payne John Howard Payne[1] (May 23, 1912 -- December 6, 1989[2][3]) was an American film actor who is mainly remembered as a singer in 20th Century Fox musical films, and for his leading roles in Miracle on 34th Street and the NBC Western television series The Restless Gun.
