==In popular culture==
"Guy Kibbee eggs" is a breakfast dish consisting of a hole cut out of the center of a slice of bread, and an egg cracked into it, all of which is fried in a skillet.<ref name="Guy Kibbee eggs">{{cite web |url=http://www.seriouseats.com/2009/09/guy-kibbee-eggs-in-toast-breakfast.html |title=Guy Kibbee Eggs |access-date=December 16, 2011 |website=seriouseats.com}}</ref> The actor prepared this dish in the 1935 Warner Bros. film ''[[Mary Jane's Pa]]'', hence the nickname. The dish is also known by other names, such as "[[egg in a basket]]", "egg in a frame", "Rocky Mountain Toast", and "Frog in a Hole".

Kibbee is also mentioned in the iconic ''[[Hot August Night]]'' concert/album performed by [[Neil Diamond]] in 1972 at the [[Greek Theatre (Los Angeles)|Greek Theatre]] in Los Angeles:

{{blockquote|Thank you people in the audience! Tree people out there, God bless ya, I'm singin' for you too! Are you still there tree people? (laughter) This is, this is the Greek Theatre. This is the place that God made for performers when they die, they go to a place called the Greek Theatre. And you're met there by an MC, wearing a long robe and smoking a cigar, looks like Guy Kibbee, and that's what it is. It's performers' paradise.}}

Guy Bridges Kibbee (March 6, 1882[1] – May 24, 1956) was an American stage and film actor.

Early years

[edit]

Kibbee was born in El Paso, Texas. His father was editor of the El Paso Herald-Post newspaper, and Kibbee learned how to set type at age 7.[2][3] At the age of 14, he ran away to join a traveling show. His younger brother was actor Milton Kibbee.[2]

Career

[edit]

Kibbee began his entertainment career on Mississippi riverboats. He became an actor in traveling stock companies. He began to lose his hair at 19. In his early days on stage, he was a romantic leading man.[4]

In 1930, he made his debut on Broadway in the play Torch Song, which won acclaim in New York and attracted the interest of Hollywood.[3] Shortly afterwards, Paramount Pictures signed Kibbee, and he moved to California. He later became part of the Warner Bros. stock company, contract actors who cycled through different productions in supporting roles. Kibbee's specialty was daft and jovial characters; he is perhaps best remembered for the films 42nd Street (1933), Gold Diggers of 1933 (1933), Captain Blood (1935), and Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (1939), though he also played the expatriate inn owner in Joan Crawford's Rain (1932). One of his few starring performances during this period was the title role of Babbit (1934), a much altered and compressed version of the Sinclair Lewis novel.

He is also remembered for his performance as Mr. Webb, editor of the Grover's Corners, New Hampshire newspaper, and father of Emily Webb (played by Martha Scott) in the film version of the classic Thornton Wilder play Our Town.

Personal life

[edit]

Kibbee's first wife was Helen Shay, with whom he raised a family in Staten Island until their divorce. One of their sons was Robert Kibbee, an academic who became chancellor of the City University of New York.[5][6][7]

His second wife was the former Ethel "Brownie" Reed. They had a daughter, Shirley Ann, and were married for 31 years.[3]

Death

[edit]

Kibbee died of Parkinson's disease at the Percy Williams Home for actors in East Islip, New York on May 24, 1956.[4][6]

[edit]

"Guy Kibbee eggs" is a breakfast dish consisting of a hole cut out of the center of a slice of bread, and an egg cracked into it, all of which is fried in a skillet.[8] The actor prepared this dish in the 1935 Warner Bros. film Mary Jane's Pa, hence the nickname. The dish is also known by other names, such as "egg in a basket", "egg in a frame", "Rocky Mountain Toast", and "Frog in a Hole".

Kibbee is also mentioned in the iconic Hot August Night concert/album performed by Neil Diamond in 1972 at the Greek Theatre in Los Angeles:

Thank you people in the audience! Tree people out there, God bless ya, I'm singin' for you too! Are you still there tree people? (laughter) This is, this is the Greek Theatre. This is the place that God made for performers when they die, they go to a place called the Greek Theatre. And you're met there by an MC, wearing a long robe and smoking a cigar, looks like Guy Kibbee, and that's what it is. It's performers' paradise.
