Harry Hayden (8 November 1882–24 July 1955) was a Canadian film character actor who appeared in over 250 films between 1936 and 1954.
Born in Canada in 1882, Hayden was slight, greying at the temples and wore glasses, and the characters he played were often small-town store proprietors, hotel managers, city attorneys, bankers and minor bureaucrats, frequently officious or snooping.
Hayden worked both onstage and in films, and with his wife, actress Lelia Bliss, to whom he was married from 1924 until his death, he ran the Bliss-Hayden miniature theatre in Beverly Hills, whose alumni include Veronica Lake, Doris Day, Debbie Reynolds, and Marilyn Monroe. He directed one production on Broadway, a play called Thirsty Soil, which opened in February 1937.
Hayden began appearing in films in 1936, when he was seen in Foolproof, a crime drama short, and worked consistently and steadily until 1954. At the peak of his career, in the late 1930s and early 1940s, a dozen or two films would be released every year in which Hayden appeared. Often his work went uncredited, but he was notable in Laurel and Hardy's Saps at Sea in 1940 as Mr. Sharp, the horn factory owner, and as Farley Granger's boss in 1951's O. Henry's Full House. In the 1940s, Hayden was part of Preston Sturges' unofficial "stock company" of character actors, appearing in six films written and directed by Sturges.
Ace to Queen
And it's dust to dust
Things ain't changing
But I know I must
I've been hurtin'
Life seemed easy
No return
Took safety measures
But I still got burnt
I've been hurtin'
All I need is you
How the hell did I lose you?
Head's not right
Much too loose
It's not screwed on tight
I've been hurtin'
All I need is you
How the hell did I lose you?
My head's not right
How the hell did I lose you?
It's not screwed on tight
How the hell did I lose you?
I've been hurtin'
All I need is you
Hanging out
Head to dry
I've been hurtin'
You made me cry
Well I've been hurtin'
All I need is you
I don't get worried
I keep a lid on tight
But it's hard to take babe
I take it every night
I've been hurtin'
All I need is you
How the hell did I lose you?
My head's not right
How the hell did I lose you?
It's not screwed on tight
How the hell did I lose you?
I've been hurtin'
All I need is you
Got a head for money
You had a head for sin
Gonna build that space ship
We were gonna fly it in
I've been hurtin'
All I need is you
How the hell did I lose you?
How the hell did I lose you?
You know that my, my heads
not right
How the hell did I lose you?
It's much too loose, it's not screwed
on tight
How the hell did I lose you?
I've been hurtin'
'Cos all I need is you
Tears for days
Ace to Queen
Dust to dust
Things ain't changing
Hanging out
Head's not right
Head to dry
I've been hurtin'
Tears for days
Ace to Queen
Dust to dust
Things ain't changing
Hanging out
Head's not right
Head to dry
I've been hurtin'
Tears for days
Ace to Queen
Dust to dust
Things ain't changing
Hanging out
Head's not right
Head to dry
