Paul Sutton
Paul Sutton was born on May 14, 1910, in Albuquerque, a city in the American Southwest that in the early twentieth century sat at the intersection of frontier heritage and a rapidly modernizing United States. He grew up as an American citizen in an era when the entertainment industry was undergoing profound transformation, and the profession of acting was expanding across new platforms and forms.
Sutton worked as an actor, plying his trade in the English language throughout a career that spanned several decades of the mid-twentieth century. The period in which he was active coincided with significant shifts in American performance culture, as stage, radio, and screen each demanded distinct but overlapping skills from working actors. Sutton navigated this landscape as a practitioner of his craft, contributing to the body of work that the Library of Congress later catalogued under his name in its Name Authority File.
The record preserved under his authorized label — "Sutton, Paul, 1910-1970" — reflects the institutional recognition accorded to his career, a career documented as well through his VIAF identifier, which places him within the broader network of named persons tracked across international library systems. Such cataloguing, while administrative in nature, attests to the durability of his professional presence and the archival attention his work received.
Paul Sutton died on January 31, 1970, in Ferndale, a place geographically distant from the Albuquerque of his birth, suggesting a life that carried him across the American landscape over the course of his sixty years. His death in Ferndale brought to a close a working life conducted entirely within the bounds of American culture and the English-speaking performance tradition he had inhabited throughout his career.

Quotes by Paul Sutton

It's a hugely important case, in part because it relates to the world's best-selling book, but also because of the principle of law involved.

Probably the most relevant thing I can say to the truth of the story has to do with how hard it was to get her to tell her story. She was a reluctant witness the whole time.

We will let them tell us what they need and where they want us to go. We want to be self-sufficient when we send officers down there, so they don't have another group of people to take care of.

I think it is one of the most fundamentally important issues with respect to social problems, economic problems and environmental problems. Everything gets harder as the population grows.
