In a story about identical triplets played by Honor Blackman in Toobworld, I mentioned twin brothers Nicholas Frame and Harriman Nelson. (Nicholas changed his last name to Frame for his acting career.)
I believe I have found another member of that family, their maternal uncle Miles Crawford. Until the early 1940's, he had been a leading star of the cinema in Hollywood. But he only made one movie in 1943 after having appeared in twelve pictures in 1942.
(Uncle Miles was probably influential in Nicholas' choice of career.....)
Realizing that his acting career was on the wane, Crawford turned to the study of the Law and eventually got his license to practice law in New York. This career change helped him get closer to his son Tod... but only so far.....

One of the movies in which Crawford starred was "We The Guilty" in which he played a lawyer named Collins. His remembrance of Collins' final speech to the jury may have proved a factor in the murder case against his son.....
