Van Heflin (December 13, 1908– July 23, 1971) was an American theatre, radio and film actor. He played mostly character parts over the course of his film career, but during the 1940s had a string of roles as a leading man. He won the Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in Johnny Eager (1942).
Heflin was born Emmett Evan Heflin, Jr. in Walters, Oklahoma, the son of Fanny Bleecker (née Shippey) and Dr. Emmett Evan Heflin, a dentist. He was of Irish and French ancestry. Heflin's sister was Daytime Emmy-nominated actress Frances Heflin (who married composer Sol Kaplan). Heflin attended Classen High School in Oklahoma City (One source says Long Beach Polytechnic High School.) and the University of Oklahoma, where he received a bachelor's degree in 1932 and was a member of Phi Delta Theta fraternity. He earned a master's degree in theater at Yale University.
Heflin began his acting career on Broadway in the early 1930s before being signed to a contract by RKO Radio Pictures. He made his film debut in A Woman Rebels (1936), opposite Katharine Hepburn. He was signed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and was initially cast in supporting roles in films such as Santa Fe Trail (1940), and Johnny Eager (1942), winning an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor for the latter performance.
Webb Garwood (Van Heflin), a disgruntled cop, is called to investigate a voyeur by Susan Gilvray (Evelyn Keyes). Her husband works nights as an overnight radio personality. Webb falls in love with the young and attractive married woman. Obsessed, he woos her despite her initial reluctance and the two begin an adulterous affair. The film was written by Dalton Trumbo under a pseudonym.

Veneno
Não me beije, não, que eu tenho veneno
É meu preço, não faço por menos
Mas depois te amarei
Veneno
Esta vida é tão pouca e pequena
Nestes lábios tem todo o veneno
Que você ama e quer
Todos os sentidos, cada gota d'água,
Nesses mares de prazer
Veneno,
Cor-de-rosa suave e moreno
Sereno
Nestes seios tem todo o veneno
Que você chama amor...
Todos os sentidos, cada gota d'água,
Nesses mares de prazer
Veneno,
Cor-de-rosa suave e sereno
Moreno
Nestes seios tem todo o veneno
Que você chama amor...
