Hollywood Remains to Be Seen Lew Ayres Pierce Brothers Westwood Village Memorial Park Lew Ayres achieved quick fame in Hollywood, and is best known for his role as Dr. Kildare in a series of films in the late 1930s and early 1940s. But his strong anti-war beliefs almost cost him his career. The boyishly handsome Ayres was a dance band musician when he was spotted by Hollywood talent scouts while playing in the Cocoanut Grove nightclub in 1928. He quickly made his film debut in a bit part in "The Sophomore" (1929), then co-starred with Greta Garbo in "The Kiss" (1929). Ayres next played a patriotic German soldier in "All Quiet on the Western Front" (1930), and the film's anti-war message had a profound impact on Ayres, and would effect his later career. Ayres next starred in a series of minor films in the 1930s, including "The Spirit of Notre Dame" (1931), "Iron Man" (1931), "State Fair" (1933), "Don't Bet on Love" (1933) co-starring with his future wife, Ginger Rogers "Silk Hat Kid" (1935), "The Lottery Lover" (1935), "The Last Train from Madrid" (1937) and "Holiday" (1938), in which he played Katharine Hepburn's spoiled younger brother. Ayres played the title role in "Young Dr. Kildare" (1938), co-starring with Lionel Barrymore and Laraine Day. The film launched a long and profitable series of films, including "Calling Dr. Kildare" (1939), "The Secret of Dr. Kildare" (1939), "Dr. Kildare's Strange Case" (1940), "Dr. Kildare's Crisis" (1940), "Dr. Kildare Goes Home" (1940), "The People vs. Dr. Kildare" (1941), "Dr. Kildare's Wedding Day" (1941) and "Dr. Kildare's Victory" (1941).

20. Classic Images: Lew Ayres For 60 years lew ayres gave us solid and dependable performances. No matter how modest his roles, he played them with real sincerity. http://www.classicimages.com/1997/february/lewayres.html

LEW AYRES The Unpretentious Star By Laura Wagner The new year of 1997 started on a note of sadness as we learned of the passing of another film great. Lew Ayres, one of the last of the 1930s male stars, died December 30, 1996 just three days after his 88th birthday. Lew was never the typical star. He was a deeply spiritual man who studied and wrote about religion. Late in his life he produced, directed and wrote a feature lenght documentary on religion based on his own writings. Like James Stewart, Lew had an everyman quality. But unlike Stewart, his films were seldom worthy of his talents. Although at one point he had a big studio behind him, MGM, Lew was given roles in 'B's' in the '30s and part of the '40s. Without a doubt his biggest and best role came in Lewis Milestone's WWI masterpiece All Quiet on the Western Front (1930). The film was based on Erich Maria Remarque's novel detailing the horrors of war and its effect on the fighting men, who are seduc ed by patriotic fervor to serve and die in the trenches. Lew's performance (only his third on camera!) should have garnered him an Academy Award. He poignantly portrays a young school boy thrown into the frenzy of war who finds himself bewildered by his l oss of innocence. Lew doesn't merely act the part, he lives it. If Lew had made no other film after this he still would be remembered as a great star. The film has many striking images Lew's hellish night spent in a shell crater with an enemy he has mortally wounded; his impassioned speech to a group of naive schoolboys who still believe in the glory of war; carrying his wounded buddy to an aid stati on, only to discover that his friend has died; and finally one of the most famous of all film scenes, Lew reaching for a butterfly as an enemy sniper takes aim and kills him.
