Meredith's best-known movies from that period include Of Mice and Men, Castle on the Hudson, The Story of G.I. Joe and The Man on the Eiffel Tower (which he also directed). His career suffered during the McCarthy era of the 1950s and didn't flourish again until the '60s, beginning with Advise and Consent (1962).
Baby boomers know Meredith as the Penguin on TV's "Batman" and as Mickey the trainer in Rocky (1976), for which he earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He was also nominated for The Day of the Locust (1975). Meredith was last seen as Jack Lemmon's dad in Grumpier Old Men (1995); he died Sept. 9, 1997.
