Biography

Harry Ritz, a renowned American actor, entered this world on May 22, 1907, in the bustling city of Newark, New Jersey, USA. This talented individual left an indelible mark on the world of entertainment, particularly in the 1930s, with notable roles in films such as Life Begins in College (1937),Kentucky Moonshine (1938),and Sing, Baby, Sing (1936).

Throughout his life, Harry Ritz was married to not one, not two, but four remarkable women: Naomi C. Leon, Betty Kellow Roday, Betty May Heath (an accomplished actress in her own right),and Charlotte Greenfield. His personal life was marked by a deep sense of love and commitment, as he cherished each of these relationships.

Tragically, Harry Ritz's time on this earth came to an end on March 29, 1986, in the beautiful city of San Diego, California, USA. Despite his passing, his legacy lives on, and his contributions to the world of cinema continue to entertain and inspire audiences to this very day.
