Don Terry Biography

Don Terry

Biography

American leading man Don Terry entered films in 1928, freelancing until he was signed to a Columbia contract in 1937. Briefly groomed for stardom, he never quite rose above B-picture and serials, but was successful within those terms. Chapter play aficionados are most familiar with his virile characterization of the title character in Universal's Don Winslow of the Navy (1942) and Don Winslow of the Coast Guard (1943). Don Terry retired in his early forties, pursuing a number of other interests until his death four decades later. - Hal Erickson, Rovi
