Bob Bailey (Robert Bainter Bailey June 13, 1913 in Toledo, Ohio -- August 13, 1983) was an American actor who appeared mostly on radio.
In the early 1940s Bailey was regularly featured on network radio programs emanating from Chicago. He was signed by 20th Century-Fox and appeared in seven feature films; the first two (in which he was most prominent) starred Laurel and Hardy.
Starting in 1946, Bailey starred as freelance detective George Valentine in the radio drama Let George Do It.but he is best remembered as the title character in the long-running radio series Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar. The program ran from 1949 until 1962 (it was the last major series on the air) and featured the exploits of "America's fabulous freelance insurance investigator"; Bailey starred as Johnny from 1955 through 1960 and wrote the script for the December 22, 1957 episode "The Carmen Kringle Matter" using the pen name "Robert Bainter".
When Yours Truly, Johnny Dollar relocated to New York in 1960, Bailey gave up the role. Having appeared in almost five hundred episodes,he had made the role his own. With the end of his involvement, the show would wind down over the following two years before being taken off the air in 1962, by which time Bailey had virtually given up acting. Near the end of the 1962 film Birdman of Alcatraz, he can be seen as one of the reporters gathered around Burt Lancaster and Edmond O'Brien; O'Brien had portrayed Johnny Dollar on the radio from 1950 to 1952.
Bailey struggled with alcoholism as his health declined, but did recover toward the end of his life. He died in California at age 70 on August 13, 1983

Thx to everyone for the support! : ) I am working hard behind the scenes searching for more vintage high quality material to post! I have recently monetized this channel with "fan funding" which will help in my efforts to add more pre-50's entertainment and content on a regular basis!
