American actor. In his youth, he and his family relocated from Massachusetts to New York, where Harry worked as a railroad signal installer (1910 U.S. Census) and auto mechanic (1917 World War I draft card), eventually ending up in California where he commenced a film career during the 1930s and 1940s. He is interred at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood Hills, Los Angeles, California, along with his wife Verna (née Dodson, 1910-1984).
Other sources give his information as such: b. 10 March 1919 in Council Bluffs, Iowa; d. 15 February 1980 in Los Angeles, California. This information applies to a different person of the same name (b. Harry Frederick Anderson, Jr.) who worked as a gas station attendant, and resided in Lincoln, Nebraska, at the time of much of "our" Harry's Hollywood film career (though the attendant Harry was in Los Angeles by 1950).
