AI notes: Jeff Chandler (1918–1961) was a popular American actor and singer best known for his Oscar-nominated role as the Apache leader Cochise in Broken Arrow (1950). With his distinctive silver hair, deep voice, and strong screen presence, he became a leading man in 1950s Hollywood, starring in films such as Iron Man, Foxfire, and Away All Boats. A major box-office draw for Universal Pictures, Chandler also recorded music and was known for playing both rugged action heroes and sensitive characters. His career was tragically cut short at age 42 due to complications from spinal surgery.
