Lyle Latell Movies
Open-faced, prominently chinned character actor
Lyle Latell began surfacing in films in the late 1930s. Only occasionally did Latell rise above the status of bit player; he was most often seen as a wisecracking reporter, griping military man or cheerful cabbie. From 1945 through 1947, Latell was a regular in RKO's Dick Tracy "B"-picture series, playing Tracy's assistant Pat Patton.
Lyle Latell was married to
Mary Foy, one of the "Seven Little Foys" of vaudeville fame. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
