**Alfred Reginald Jones**, coñecido como **Ray Milland**, nado en Neath (Gales) o 3 de xaneiro de 1907 e finado en Torrance (California) o 10 de marzo de 1986 foi un actor británico.

## Traxectoria

Comezou no cinema como extra a finais da década de 1920. Alcanzou o éxito con *The Flying Scotsman*, que o levou a ser contratado pola Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, motivo polo cal marchou a Hollywood en 1930. Tras dous anos de pequenos papeis decidiu volver ao Reino Unido, mentres a súa esposa continuaba en América rematando os estudos.

No seu país só traballou en dous filmes, polo que volveu a California. Preocupado por conseguir un traballo fixo foi xerente dunha gasolineira. Volveu ao cinema cando un actor inglés do filme de George Raft *Bolero* tivo que ser substituído urxentemente e el foi o escollido.

A partir de 1936 comezou a ter papeis protagonistas, conseguindo o seu maior éxito en 1945 con *A fin de semana perdida*, de Billy Wilder, coa que gañou o Oscar ao mellor actor.

Tras finalizar o contrato que tiña coa Paramount en 1955 comezou unha carreira como director, tendo grande éxito na televisión.
