- Mini Bio:
- The words "suave" and "debonair" became synonymous with the name Adolphe Menjou in Hollywood -- both on- and off-camera. The epitome of knavish, continental charm and sartorial opulence, Menjou, complete with trademark waxy black mustache, evolved into one of Hollywood's most distinguished of artists and fashion plates -- a tailor-made scene-stealer, if you will. What is often forgotten is that he was primed as a matinée idol back in the silent-film days.
