I remember him best for his role in the 1954 film "The Student Prince" where he took over from Mario Lanza, although it was Lanza's voice that was used for the songs. At Peace. |

Purdom never had much of a Hollywood career, but he was a working actor, I guess, for a long spell. Fifty-five years on, I think the only principal players from the Egyptian still alive are Tommy Rettig, the boy, and Jean Simmons. RIP, Mr. Purdom. |
