Howard St. John (October 9, 1905 – March 13, 1974[1]) was a Chicago-born character actor who specialized in unsympathetic roles. His work spanned Broadway, film and television. Among his best-remembered roles are the bombastic General Bullmoose in the stage and screen versions of the 1956 musical Li'l Abner,[2] and his supporting roles in the classic comedies Born Yesterday (1950) and One, Two, Three (1961).
