George Zucco

**George Desylla Zucco** (11. januar 1886 - 27. maj 1960) bio je britanski glumac, najpoznatiji po karakternim ulogama u filmovima klasičnog Hollywooda.

Rođen je kao sin grčkog trgovca i vlasnice krojačke radnje koja je neko vrijeme bila dvorska dama kraljice Viktorije. Glumom se počeo baviti u kanadskom teatru, s potom nastupao u vodviljima. Karijeru mu je prekinuo Prvi svjetski rat, u kome je služio u Britanskoj vojsci, dobivši čin poručnika. Nakon toga je počeo glumiti na londonskim pozornicama, prije nego što se 1931. zaputio u Hollywood gdje je imao filmski debi sa ulogom   Eugenea Cavaignaca u filmu *[[Dreyfus (1931 film)|The Dreyfus Case]]*. Nakon toga je nastupao u nizu filmova, pri čemu je izuzetno plodnu karijeru imao 1940-ih. Godine 1951. se povukao iz bolesti.

Kenneth Anger je godine 1988. objavio knjigu *Hollywood Babylon II* u kojoj je tvrdio da je Zucco umro u duševnoj bolnici, uvjeren da ga progoni Cthulhu, čudovišno stvorenje iz horor-priča H. P. Lovecrafta, te da su nakon toga njegova supruga i kćer izvršili samoubistvo. U stvarnosti je umro od upale pluća u hospiciju, dok mu je kćer dvije godine umrla od raka; udovica Stella Francis je živjela sve do 1999. godine.
