Robert Courtleigh

He was born in Rye, New York, a suburb of Westchester County. His mother, Edna, was an ex-Gibson Girl, and his father was William Courtleigh, an acclaimed Broadway actor, member of the Lamb's Club, and co-creator of the Actors' Equity Association.[1]

Courtleigh got his start in the 1950s science fiction television series Atom Squad playing character Steve Elliott alongside Bob Hastings and Bram Nossem. This role led to Courtleigh being chosen as an honorary delegate to the ninth annual World Science Fiction Convention held in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[2]

Among Courtleigh's other television roles were an episode of Men into Space in the 1960s, the part of the evil stepmother's groom in Rodgers and Hammerstein's Cinderella, a CBS TV special starring Lesley Ann Warren; several appearances in Hallmark Hall of Fame productions; and supporting roles in the Sylvester Stallone drama F.I.S.T. and Winter Kills, a John Huston thriller.

Courtleigh was preceded in death by his wife, Gretchen (February 2004). They each had a child from previous marriages. Courtleigh's brother Stephen and half brother William were also actors.
