Early years
Corden was born January 6, 1920, in Montreal to Max and Emma Cohen. His father was a meat curer who had been born in Romania; his mother was originally from Russia. The family moved to the Bronx , New York when Corden was a child and he arrived in Hollywood in the 1940s.
Career
Corden appeared on the stage in Los Angeles, including a 1947 production of The Message . His film career included The System (1952), where he played a near-sighted gangster named Specs. Corden thought it would be the first time in 25 films he could wear his glasses and see while he was acting, but the lenses gave off too much reflection and he had to substitute them for plain glass after one day of shooting.
Corden's obituary in the Tampa Bay Times noted, "With his deep voice, jet-black hair and ethnic looks, Corden was frequently tapped to play heavies in films and on television."[2] He can be seen in such live-action films as The Secret Life of Walter Mitty , The Black Castle , Abbott and Costello in the Foreign Legion and The Ten Commandments . He also appeared in dozens of TV shows, including Hogan's Heroes (in five episodes), Dragnet , Perry Mason , Peter Gunn , McHale's Navy (in five episodes), Gunsmoke , The Mary Tyler Moore Show and was a regular on The Jerry Lewis Show . Corden also played landlord Henry Babbitt on The Monkees and Mr. Haskell, the owner of an ice cream parlor, in an episode of The Brady Bunch .
Before Reed's death, Corden had been used as Reed's replacement when Fred Flintstone had to sing because Reed could not sing in pitch. Corden gave his voice to a number of Hanna-Barbera productions besides The Flintstones , including The Jetsons , Josie and the Pussycats , The Atom Ant Show , and Paw Rugg on The Hillbilly Bears , The New Tom & Jerry Show and Jonny Quest . Corden also gave voice to the wizard Gemini and Ookla the Mokk in Ruby-Spears Productions ' Thundarr the Barbarian as well as the Gorilla General Urko in DePatie-Freleng Enterprises ' Return to the Planet of the Apes . He voiced Arnie Barkley, the Archie Bunker -inspired patriarch of DePatie-Freleng's The Barkleys , in 1972.
Personal life
Corden was married four times. His first wife was Thelma Corden, from 1942 to 1969; together they had two children. He and his second wife Shirley W. Cytron were married from 1970 to 1979. After his divorce from Cytron, he married his third wife Charlotte R. Colton Diamond in 1984; they remained married until her death in 1993.
