Robert Hutton (born Robert Bruce Winne;[1] June 11, 1920 - August 7, 1994) was an American actor.
Robert Bruce Winne was born in Kingston, New York,[2] and he grew up in Ulster County, New York.[3] He was the son of a hardware merchant and a cousin of the Woolworth heiress Barbara Hutton.
He attended Blair Academy, a small boarding school in Blairstown, New Jersey.
Before he ventured into films, Hutton acted at the Woodstock Playhouse in Woodstock, New York for two seasons.[3] His film debut as Robert Hutton came in Destination Tokyo (1943).
Hutton resembled actor Jimmy Stewart: during World War II when Stewart enlisted in the Army Air Forces in March 1941, Hutton benefited from "victory casting" in roles that would ordinarily have gone to Stewart.[4] His final film was The New Roof (1975).[5]
After leaving Warner Brothers’ studios Hutton continued working in movies, TV shows and as a writer and director in England for several years. He returned years later to the United States and lived in New York where he was born and raised.
Hutton had a daughter and a son. He spent his last days in a nursing care facility after breaking his back in a home accident.[1] He is interred in Calvary Cemetery in Queens, New York.[6]
