Born in 1909, Everett started acting onstage at the early age of seven. He went on to do stage, radio, TV, and movie acting. About this he said, "As a business proposition, radio is ... sound and occasionally satisfying. The theatre is ego-satisfying but otherwise unreliable. The movies are ... a lump of money."
Everett is best known for playing Mr. Bernstein in Citizen Kane. He played many kinds of characters throughout his years as an actor; he had a lot of range and tended not to be type-cast. Tragically, he died at the age of 55 from apparent suicide.
