Steve Gravers

Steve Gravers (born Solomon Gottlieb; April 8, 1922, New York City – died August 22, 1978, Studio City, California) was an American character actor who appeared in numerous television shows and also in several movies in a career that lasted from 1952 until his death in 1978.

A life member of The Actors Studio, Gravers made his Broadway debut in the Studio's production of Michael Gazzo's A Hatful of Rain on November 9, 1955.

This was the same night on which Graver's first featured television performance was aired, a guest appearance on I Spy (not the popular hour-long series which would debut a decade later, but rather a half-hour anthology series hosted/narrated in character by Raymond Massey, as 'Anton the spymaster'), in an episode entitled "Bits and Pieces".

Gravers married actress Vitina Marcus by whom he had two children; the couple divorced in 1960. Gravers lived in California until his death on August 22, 1978 from lung cancer in Studio City, California. (Correction) Steve had no children with Vitina Marcus her child while married to Steve, was Rory Calhoun's,as they we're making a movie together. When she had the child they were divorced... Steve was sterile. I was Steve's fourth wife married March 13th 1976 my name is Valerie Andrews, when Steve passed away I sued the will as did Vitina where I provided the papers to prove this.
