Best IMDb trivia on Jack Warden
- John Warden Lebzelter Jr., was born in Newark, New Jersey in 1920.
2. Young Jack Lebzelter was expelled from Louisville’s DuPont Manual High School for repeatedly fighting. Good with his fists, he turned professional, boxing as a welterweight under the name “Johnny Costello”, adopting his mother’s maiden name. Once fought on the same card as Charles Durning in Madison Square Garden.The purses were poor, so he soon left the ring and worked as a bouncer at a night club.
3. Jack Warden served as a paratrooper in the 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, with the 101st Airborne Division in World War II. In 1944, on the eve of the D-Day invasion (in which many of his friends died), Warden, then a staff sergeant, shattered his leg when he landed in a tree during a night-time practice jump in England. He spent almost eight months in the hospital recuperating, during which time he read a Clifford Odets play and decided to become an actor.
4. Jack Warden’s first film role, uncredited, was in the 1951 film You’re in the Navy Now, a film that also featured the screen debuts of Lee Marvin and Charles Bronson.
5. Jack Warden appeared in five films that were nominated for the Academy Award® for Best Picture: From Here to Eternity (1953), 12 Angry Men (1957), All the President’s Men (1976), Heaven Can Wait (1978) and The Verdict (1982). Of those, From Here to Eternity (1953) was the only one to win the award.
