Biography
Born in El Paso, Texas, Kibbee began his entertainment career on Mississippi riverboats and eventually became a successful Broadway actor. In the 1930s, Kibbee moved to California and became part of what became known as "Warner Bros.' stock company", contracted actors who cycled through different productions in supporting roles. Kibbee's specialty was daft and jovial characters and he is best remembered for the films "42nd Street" (1933), "The Gold Diggers of 1933" (1933), "Captain Blood" (1935), and "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" (1939).
Kibbee was noted onstage during a Neil Diamond monologue on the 1972 "Hot August Night" concert album. Diamond refers to the Greek Theater as performer's heaven and envisions meeting a man in a robe with a cigar at Heaven's gate which looks like Guy Kibbee.
Kibbee died from complications arising out of Parkinson's disease in New York in 1956.
